Moore, OK Code Violation Reporting: Response Times (2026)

Section 8-1123 of the Property Maintenance Code sets the timeline that follows a Section 8-1122 notice of violation. The owner or occupant must correct the violations outlined in the notice within 30 days of the date of the notice. Before that period runs out, the community development director may reinspect the property and authorize additional time for the owner or occupant to correct the violations, so the 30-day window is a floor, not an automatic deadline for every case. Once a notice issues, each minor violation included in it must be corrected before the code official clears the violation, meaning partial correction does not close the case.

If the owner or occupant misses the allotted time, a citation or citations shall be issued as provided in Section 8-1104, the section that makes each continuing day a separate offense. The same section gives the property owner a right to contest the finding: within ten days of the notice, the owner may request a hearing in writing addressed to the code official, who must then conduct a hearing as soon as practicable but not later than 15 days after receipt of that request. At the hearing, the owner may be represented by counsel, present testimony and other evidence, and cross-examine witnesses; if the code official still finds a major violation, the order goes in writing and correction must occur within the notice period or an agreed timeline.

A further appeal from that order follows the procedure in Section 8-205(f) and (g), moving the case out of the code official's hands and into that appeal track.
