How are inspections scheduled?

Questions and inspection coordination go to 918-485-8123; the county also requires correction of site and construction deficiencies before approval.
Which codes and exemptions should I review?
Wagoner County inspectors follow the International Building Code and International Residential Code for residential renovation and commercial construction. The county's current public pages do not identify a complete 2026 edition list; applicable state-adopted OUBCC codes and county rules apply. Unincorporated property owners must apply for a building permit unless exempt by state statute. Wagoner County cites Title 19 §866.30 exemptions for a single-family residence on a separate parcel under one ownership containing 20 acres or more, and for land devoted to manufacturing/industrial use or expansion. Agricultural and manufacturing practices are exempt from county permitting and zoning requirements when rezoning is not needed; no county inspections are required for those practices. Lot splits meeting the statutory 10-acre/no-new-road criteria require no permit.
