Tulsa County does not operate a rental registration or inspection program in unincorporated areas. The City of Tulsa likewise has no general rental license, though all landlords must comply with the Oklahoma RLTA (41 O.S. §118) and International Property Maintenance Code where adopted.
Neither Tulsa County nor the City of Tulsa maintains a mandatory rental registration or proactive inspection program for single-family or small multifamily rentals. Landlords operate without a license but are bound by the habitability requirements of 41 O.S. §118 of the Oklahoma Residential Landlord Tenant Act, which requires compliance with applicable building and housing codes, working plumbing, heat, and safe common areas. Tulsa County has adopted the International Property Maintenance Code for structures in unincorporated areas, enforced on a complaint basis by County Code Enforcement. Smoke detectors are required under the state building code for any bedroom in a dwelling. Lead-based paint disclosure is required federally for pre-1978 housing (24 CFR §35). Short-term rentals in unincorporated Tulsa County are treated separately and generally do not require a county permit, though city STRs (e.g., Tulsa, Jenks) have their own licensing.
Habitability violation: tenant remedy under 41 O.S. §121 (repair-and-deduct up to $100 or 1/2 month's rent) after 14-day notice. County property maintenance citation: notice of violation, then fines $100 to $500 per violation. Federal lead disclosure failure: HUD/EPA fines up to $16,000 per violation.
