Certain residents in east Tulsa are now eligible to apply for a voluntary program to rezone their properties to the Agricultural-Residential (AG-R) district at no cost. AG-R zoning allows owners of eligible properties to maintain certain agricultural uses and retain a more rural character with larger minimum lot sizes.
How it works
The AG-R zoning program is strictly voluntary, and is available to owners of properties that meet all requirements of the AG-R district. The program is divided into 2 phases based on boundaries established on this map. Each phase has a different deadline for applications, as outlined below. Tulsa Planning Office staff will include all submitted requests on one application, then prepare a staff report and present the information to both the Planning Commission and City Council.
Requirements to Participate
To participate, complete the property owner consent form and return it to the Tulsa Planning Office. Required information includes:
- Property owner contact information, including mailing address, phone number, and email address
- Property owner signature, consenting to participate in the voluntary AG-R zoning program.
- A legal description of the property. Legal descriptions can be obtained by surveying the property or by contacting the Tulsa County Assessor’s Office at 918-596-5100. Property records can be searched online at:
assessor.tulsacounty.org/assessor-property-search.php. An electronic version of the legal description must also be provided via email.
