Permit likely required

Most likely yes. Standby generator installation usually requires a permit in Oklahoma. Confirm the specifics with Unincorporated Custer County.

No person may install, replace, or repair gas piping unless licensed under the Mechanical Licensing Act or as a plumbing contractor or journeyman plumber; there is no homeowner exception for gas piping (59 O.S. 1850.10(A)). Oklahoma amended the 2024 IRC to require underground gas piping to be buried at least 18 inches below grade (G2415.12 as amended). An individual does not need a state license to do electrical work on their own property or residence unless a local ordinance requires one (59 O.S. 1692(B)(3)); this is a licensing exemption, not a permit exemption. The CIB notification form for work in incorporated areas without an inspector lists gas piping and new electrical work; notice is due 72 hours before concealed work is covered, otherwise within 7 days of starting (CIB notification memo).
