Tulsa County Planning Commission and Tulsa County Board of Adjustment

Zoning Approvals — Tulsa County Planning Commission and Board of Adjustment (unincorporated Tulsa County)

A business on land in unincorporated Tulsa County uses the property under the Tulsa County Zoning Regulations (CMF# 20241854, adopted 9/30/2024, effective October 1, 2024), adopted under Title 19, Section 863.1 et seq. of the Oklahoma Statutes. Sec. 1.040-A states that the regulations apply to use and development within the unincorporated area and "do not apply in areas subject to the zoning powers of any incorporated municipality". A Joint Resolution approved by the Board of County Commissioners on July 13, 2026 established the Tulsa County Planning Commission "having jurisdiction within unincorporated Tulsa County" after September 2, 2026.
