Tulsa County Inspections Department issues building permits for the unincorporated areas. Fence construction may require a permit depending on type and height. The Inspections office is at 218 W. 6th St., Suite 210, Tulsa, OK 74119. Allow 3-5 business days for residential permit processing. All fees are nonrefundable.
Most Oklahoma cities exempt standard residential fences (wood, vinyl, chain-link under 6 to 8 feet) from building permits. Masonry and concrete fences may require structural permits. Fences over 8 feet require permits. Pool barrier fences must meet building code. Check property line and easements before building - utility and oil/gas easements may restrict fence placement. HOAs require separate approval.
Unpermitted fence: stop-work order. Retroactive permit with penalty. May require modification.
