Concrete planning in Bixby

Where Bixby is

The Oklahoma Historical Society describes Bixby as a south Tulsa County town in the valley of the Arkansas River, about eighteen miles southeast of Tulsa, named for Tams Bixby of the Dawes Commission (Encyclopedia of Oklahoma History). Retrieved September 27, 2026.

Permits now run through MyGov

The city’s residential permits page says that as of January 9, 2024 all permitting and contractor licensing moved to MyGov. The same page asks for a complete site plan showing easements and accurate distances from structures to property lines, including patios. If a patio is going in with a new house or an addition, draw it on the plan from the start.

Easements are the detail people miss. A slab poured over a utility easement may have to come up if the utility needs access. Mark any easement on the site before the forms go down.

Curb cuts are an ordinance matter

Bixby’s adjacent right-of-way page lists code section 7-1-13, titled Unlawful to enter property other than at curb cuts. A new or relocated drive therefore raises a curb question with the city before it is a concrete question. Ask Bixby what approval a new curb cut needs and what width it allows.

Valley ground

Lots in a river valley can hold water after the wet spring months. Tulsa’s National Weather Service normals put May as the wettest month at 5.73 inches. Low spots, downspouts and the slope toward the street all deserve a look before a bidder sets grades.

For the rest of a driveway plan, see the driveway guide; remember that its width table is Tulsa’s, not Bixby’s.
