CC&R and architectural enforcement in Oklahoma rests on the recorded declaration and common law. The Real Estate Development Act lets both the association and individual owners sue to enforce covenants, with attorney's fees to the prevailing party. There is no statewide architectural-review statute.
Oklahoma enforces restrictive covenants chiefly through the recorded declaration plus contract and real-property common law. The Real Estate Development Act provides two enforcement routes: the owners association "may also enforce the covenant and restrictions of the real estate development when specified by the covenants and restrictions" (60 O.S. § 854), and "Any person owning property in a real estate development shall be entitled to bring action against any other person... to enforce any of the restrictions or covenants" (60 O.S. § 856), with the prevailing party recovering attorney's fees. Covenants can be amended without unanimous consent under 11 O.S. § 42-106.1 (e.g., 70% of parcels after 10 years). Architectural-control authority is declaration-based, not statutory.
Either the association or an individual owner may sue to enforce covenants (injunction, compliance); 60 O.S. §§ 852, 856 award reasonable attorney's fees to the prevailing party, taxed as costs.
