Oklahoma City zoning §59-4000 sets R-1 setbacks: 25 ft front, 5 ft side, 20 ft rear. Edmond and suburbs vary slightly. Variances require Board of Adjustment hearing.
Oklahoma City Municipal Code §59-4000 et seq. establishes minimum setbacks by zoning district. Standard R-1 single-family: 25 feet front, 5 feet side (7.5 feet corner street side), 20 feet rear. R-2/R-3 multi-family: 25 feet front, 10 feet side, 20 feet rear. Accessory structures (detached garages, sheds over 120 sq ft): 3 feet side/rear, 25 feet front. Corner lots get 15-foot increased side setback along the street per §59-4080. Edmond Code §22-30 uses 25 ft/7.5 ft/20 ft for R-1. Midwest City §30-131 is similar. Variances require application to the Board of Adjustment with public hearing (§59-8000), $300-$500 fee, and demonstration of practical hardship. Eaves may project 2 feet into required setback; decks under 30 inches high are exempt. Oklahoma County unincorporated parcels follow the county subdivision regulations with 30 ft front / 10 ft side minimums. Oil and gas easements can require additional setbacks — check your plat.
Building in setback: stop-work order + $250 to $2,500 (OKC §59-9999). Correction may require structure modification or removal at owner cost.
