Due to the rising numbers of COVID-19 in the Tulsa area, the City of Tulsa Permit Center will remain closed to the public through March 31, 2021.
Though the Permit Center is closed for in-person business, residents can utilize the online portal for permit applications (with the exception of the five permits listed below) and contractor licenses – both new and renewals. Residents will need to register through the online portal to create an account if they have not already done so. Plans will need to be uploaded for permit applications and State licenses will have to be uploaded for contractor licenses.
Commercial Priority review, Commercial Repair, Certificate of Occupancy, Residential Repair, and Demolition permit applications cannot be filed via the online portal. If applying for one of these types of permits, please email the application and plans to cotdevsvcs@cityoftulsa.org.
Residents needing all other application types are encouraged to use the online portal and include all contact information. If a Permit Specialist has questions or needs further information, they will contact you. To pick up a permit that was applied for in person, call (918) 596-9456. A Permit Specialist will create an invoice residents can pay online and the specialist will provide plans electronically, either by email or through the permit portal.
Residents can make account deposits by mailing a check to the City of Tulsa Permit Center, 175 E. 2nd St., Ste. 450, Tulsa, OK 74103.
