Do I need a permit for fence installation or replacement in Unincorporated Comanche County?
Unincorporated Comanche County does not issue residential building permits. Comanche County does not issue building permits, fire safety permits, or certificates of occupancy and has no county zoning. The county Floodplain Administrator requires a floodplain review, and a Floodplain Development Permit in flood zones. State licensing rules still apply.
The requirements below come from Oklahoma rules and describe the standard the work must still meet. They are not a statement that Unincorporated Comanche County will issue you a permit.
It depends. Whether fence installation or replacement needs a permit in Unincorporated Comanche County comes down to the details of your project.
The Oklahoma-adopted 2024 IRC exempts fences not over 7 feet high from a building permit (R105.2, Building item 2), but the exemption does not authorize work that violates any other local law or ordinance, such as zoning height or location limits. A fence that encloses a pool must be at least 4 feet high with openings that will not pass a 4-inch sphere, and pedestrian gates must be self-closing and self-latching (Oklahoma amendments to IRC R328.2 and R328.3). Oklahoma's state codes are minimum standards that cities, towns, and counties enforce; no state agency issues residential building permits, so the first question is which local office, if any, covers the address (59 O.S. 1000.23; OUBCC FAQ).
