Required jurisdiction check

Project questions
Frequently asked questions for Grady County
Who handles permitting for this jurisdiction?
This record is marked Municipal Fallback. Confirm whether a city, state agency, or other local authority controls the parcel before filing.
How should I begin an application?
Begin with the online permit gateway listed in the application guide. If the portal does not recognize the address or project type, contact Chickasha Community Development 405-222-6010; Grady County 405-224-7388.
How long might review take?
N/A. Chickasha does not publish a fixed building-permit review timeline.
How are inspections scheduled?
Chickasha Community Development handles building inspection, plan review, floodplain administration, and code compliance. Apply, look up permits, and request inspections through MyGov at https://public.mygov.us/ or call 405-222-6010. The official page does not publish a fixed advance-notice or review-time rule.
Which codes and exemptions should I review?
Chickasha's code incorporates the applicable International Residential and International Building Codes as revised and adopted by the Oklahoma Uniform Building Code Commission; the official current pages do not identify a separate 2026 municipal edition list. Oklahoma state minimum OUBCC codes apply unless the local AHJ adopts higher standards. Chickasha's code exempts an accessory storage building of 150 square feet or less when it has no electric, gas, or plumbing extensions, is accessory to the main building, and serves the occupants of that main building. Other work generally requires a permit before construction, alteration, or improvement; confirm with Community Development.
