Permits in Maple Ridge, Tulsa — Historic Preservation Guide

Maple Ridge is Tulsa's largest Historic Preservation overlay district, designated in 1985. Centered around 18th–25th Streets between Peoria and Boston Avenues, it contains bungalows, Tudor Revival, Craftsman, and Colonial Revival residences from the 1910s–1930s oil-boom era.

Any exterior alteration visible from the public right-of-way in Maple Ridge requires a Certificate of Appropriateness (COA) from the Tulsa Preservation Commission BEFORE the Tulsa Permit Center will issue a building, roofing, or fence permit. This includes window replacement, re-roofing, siding, fences, and additions.

Maple Ridge zoning is typically RS-1 (9,000 sq ft minimum lot, 25-ft front setback) layered with the HP overlay. The combination drives a specific permitting pathway that out-of-state owners often discover late in the project — Permitly walks the COA gate first.
