Oklahoma City R-1 caps height at 35 feet or 2.5 stories. Downtown/Midtown/Bricktown allow high-rise per district. Will Rogers and Tinker airspace imposes FAA Part 77 limits.
Oklahoma City Municipal Code §59-4200 sets maximum building height at 35 feet or 2.5 stories for R-1 single-family, 40 feet for R-2, and 45 feet for R-3. Height measured from average finished grade to the highest roof point. Chimneys, antennas, flagpoles, and mechanical equipment may exceed limits by up to 5 feet. Downtown Business District (DBD), Midtown, and Bricktown allow buildings over 200 feet subject to urban design review. Edmond R-1 §22-30 caps at 35 feet; Oak Tree and Fairview Farm limit to 35 feet with HOA architectural review. Midwest City §30-131 uses 35 feet. FAA Part 77 surfaces from Will Rogers World Airport (KOKC), Wiley Post (KPWA), and Tinker AFB (KTIK) impose additional height limits on adjacent properties — structures over 200 feet or near glide paths require FAA Form 7460 filing. Variances require Board of Adjustment hearing. The tallest building in OKC is Devon Energy Center at 844 feet.
Exceeding height limit: stop-work order + $250 to $2,500 (OKC §59-9999). Required to reduce height or obtain variance. Possible structure demolition.
