Licenses and Permits for Development, Construction and
Remodeling:
City government is charged with oversight of the development of
land and with ensuring that when homes, business, factories or
other facilities are built in Tulsa, they comply with national,
state and local codes that were written to protect the public's
health and safety. The Development Services Division is the branch
of City government that reviews development and building plans,
approves how new facilities are tied into existing infrastructures
for water, sewer, stormwater management and others. It also issues
the permits for building or remodeling homes, businesses and other
structures. It also tests and registers licenses for a variety of
trades workers engaged in construction in the mechanical,
electrical, plumbing and related fields.
