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.
