Tulsa County addresses property blight in unincorporated areas under OK Title 19 §§347-349, which authorizes county boards of commissioners to declare and abate public nuisances. Common blight conditions include dilapidated structures, broken windows, collapsed roofing, accumulated debris or junk, inoperable vehicles, and overgrown lots harboring vermin. Inside Tulsa city limits, Title 24 of the Tulsa Revised Ordinances (TRO) governs via the Neighborhood Conditions Working Group and Working in Neighborhoods (WIN) department.

If unresolved, the county may abate the nuisance, charging costs to the owner and filing a lien against the property per OK Title 19 §347.1. Structures deemed dangerous fall under the Oklahoma Dilapidated Buildings Act, OK Title 11 §22-112.
Written notice with 10-30 day compliance period. Fines up to $500 per violation per day under OK Title 19 §348. County-conducted abatement costs liened against property. Dangerous structures may be demolished at owner expense.
