The place

What The Village is actually like

Houses began going up in 1949 on platted farmland, and it incorporated in January 1950 with about seven residents, six of whom voted for it. Oklahoma City boxed it in around 1960, so the stock is almost entirely 1949 to 1960 with no greenfield left at all.

Questions

The Village

Who issues a building permit in The Village?

The Village Building & Code. Confirm the current requirements with them before you plan around a schedule, because counter hours and submission methods differ across this metro more than people expect.

Do you build in The Village?

Yes. The Village is about 7 miles south-west of Edmond, and distance affects the labour component of a quote rather than whether we will come. Tell us the address and what you are thinking about and we will give you a number.

What does an outdoor kitchen cost in The Village?

The planning ranges on this site apply across the OKC metro: an island structure at about $380 to $850 per linear foot before appliances, and a complete 8-foot cook station typically $8,500 to $11,500. Access and distance move the labour line, which is one of the things a site visit settles.

Does the permit rule differ from Edmond?

The Village runs its own building department, so its thresholds and its process are its own. The Edmond exemptions described on the permits page are Edmond's, and they do not automatically apply here.
