State Statutes and Adopted Building Codes
The State of Oklahoma establishes minimum statewide building standards through the adoption of nationally recognized model codes. For residential roofing, the primary standard is the 2018 International Residential Code (IRC), which has been adopted by the state with specific amendments to address Oklahoma's unique climate, such as severe wind, hail, and ice conditions. These amendments are codified in the Oklahoma Administrative Code (OAC) under Title 748. It is important to note that while these represent the statewide minimum, local jurisdictions (cities and counties) may adopt and enforce more restrictive requirements or additional local amendments.
