STATE LICENSE
NoneSee what applies
No Oklahoma statute licenses concrete work, and the CIB states that general construction is not state-licensed. Pouring foundations, driveways, slabs, and flatwork requires no state credential.
The state rules that reach concrete contractors are the lien deadlines — four months for original contractors, 75-day pre-lien notice and 90-day filing for subcontractors (42 O.S. §§ 142, 142.6, 143) — and any embedded licensed trade work, such as electrical conduit or plumbing sleeves, which must be done by CIB licensees.
The state sets the license floor; the county or city permit office controls filing, inspections, and local rules wherever the job site sits.
With no state concrete license, local governments control any contractor registration, building and right-of-way permits, and inspections.
The local offices section below names the exact permit desk for every Oklahoma county on file.
Each row names the issuing authority, cost, timeline, citation, and status behind the requirement — verified against the official source.
Published fees from the issuing authorities, as of October 2026. Local permit fees vary by project and jurisdiction — the basis is stated where a flat number does not exist.
No state license or registration applies to concrete work.
Electrical conduit, plumbing, and gas piping set in a pour still require CIB licensees.
Primes: 4 months to file. Subs: 75-day notice, 90-day filing.

Each item names the issuing authority, cycle, and citation.
Statutory consequences with their citations — not estimates, not “commonly cited” guesses.
Contracting electrical, plumbing, mechanical, or roofing work without the CIB license or registration — including offering it through advertising — draws a CIB citation.
An original contractor claiming a lien must file the lien statement with the county clerk within four months after the last date materials or labor were furnished; outside that window the lien is not perfected.
A subcontractor or supplier must send a pre-lien notice to the original contractor and owner within 75 days of last furnishing; the portion of the claim without notice is unenforceable. Claims under $10,000 and non-owner-occupied residential projects of four or fewer units are exempt.
Inside city limits, the city office listed here issues the permit; the county office serves unincorporated areas. Every office links to its official page.
