Tulsa Zoning Code (Title 42) specifies approved fence materials. Wood, vinyl, wrought iron, and tubular steel allowed in residential zones. Barbed wire banned in residential; chain-link restricted in front yards of single-family districts.
Under Tulsa Zoning Code Title 42 Β§90.090, residential districts (RS, RE, RD, RM) allow wood privacy fences, vinyl, decorative metal (wrought iron, tubular steel), masonry, and chain-link. Chain-link is prohibited in front yards of RS and RE districts within the designated Arts District and Pearl District overlay zones. Barbed wire and razor wire are prohibited in all residential zones per Β§90.090(D); permitted only in Industrial (IL, IM, IH) and Agricultural (AG) districts with 6-foot minimum height. Electric fences are limited to agricultural and industrial zones. Tulsa HOAs in Midtown (Maple Ridge, Yorktown), South Tulsa (South Shores, Broken Arrow Southern Hills) and master-planned communities frequently impose material restrictions stricter than city code, often banning chain-link entirely and requiring wood or wrought iron. Finished or 'good' side must face outward toward the street or neighbor per TRO Β§90.090(F). Wind-load engineering matters in Tornado Alley β IRC-amended Oklahoma code requires fences over 6 feet to be engineered for 115 mph wind gusts.
Non-compliant material in residential zone: compliance notice with 30-day correction period. Failure to correct: $250 to $750 per violation plus removal costs. HOA violations: fines per CC&Rs, typically $25 to $100 per day.
