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
