Oklahoma Covenant & Architectural Enforcement

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.
