Building permits are required for construction or major alteration of any buildings or structures that are classified as occupancies in the building codes adopted by the Oklahoma Uniform Building Code Commission including all defined occupancies within these groups, or installation of original equipment for the operation or maintenance thereof. Please review the Building Types flowchart document to ascertain if an Oklahoma licensed architect is required for your project. You can also call 405-949-2383. If the city, town, county or college having jurisdiction conducts the building plan reviews and/or inspections, it is not necessary to request building plan reviews and/or inspections by this Agency. All projects must comply with the 2018 codes as adopted by the Oklahoma Uniform Building Code Commission (OUBCC). All plan reviews that do not fall within the above list of statewide cities, towns, counties or colleges having jurisdiction must be submitted to the State Fire Marshal's Office for review and permitting.
Medical Marijuana customers only may submit plans for review to one of the third-party building plan review companies listed below. Once building plans have been approved by an authorized third-party, an application for a building permit, including payment as outlined in the OKSFM fee schedule, must be submitted to the Oklahoma State Fire Marshal. No plans will be accepted in our electronic plan submittal system. Any additional related submittals (i.e., Fire Alarm, Fire Sprinkler, Access Control, CO2, etc.) must be submitted to the OKSFM for review and permitting. All subsequent field inspections shall be performed by an Agent with the OKSFM. Projects currently accepted and awaiting plan review by the OKSFM may be picked up in person and submitted to an authorized third-party building plan review company for review. The Office of the Oklahoma State Fire Marshal has no control over the fees charged by the authorized third-party building plan review companies and makes no claim concerning their turnaround time.
Prior to submitting your project for review, it is important you download and review the Building Plan Review presentation submittal requirements and changes.
