Permits in Brady Heights, Tulsa — Historic Preservation Guide
Brady Heights is Tulsa's first Historic Preservation overlay district, designated in 1980. Roughly bounded by Detroit Ave, Easton St, Cheyenne Ave, and Pine St, it features predominantly Craftsman bungalows, Folk Victorian, and early 20th-century cottages.
Any exterior work visible from the public right-of-way requires a Certificate of Appropriateness (COA) from the Tulsa Preservation Commission. Vinyl siding and vinyl windows are typically denied on contributing structures.
Brady Heights zoning is typically RS-3 (5,400 sq ft minimum lot, 20-ft front setback) plus HP overlay. ADUs are encouraged in rear yards but limited to 1 story / 18 ft tall and 600 sq ft.
