Appendix G (Building Codes, Licensing & Responsibilities) to the City of Claremore-Rogers County Metropolitan Zoning Ordinance states, under "Permit Required": "Any owner or authorized agent who intends to construct, enlarge, alter, repair, move, demolish or change the occupancy of a building or structure, or to erect, install, enlarge, alter, repair, remove, convert or replace any electrical, gas, mechanical or plumbing system, the installation of which is regulated by this ordinance, or to cause any such work to be done, shall first make application to the City/County building office and obtain the required permit," noting "Some work maybe exempt for the building permit as provided by adopted code." The city's own Code of Ordinances separately states, at § 150.035: "No person, company or corporation shall erect or cause to be erected within the city any building or structure of any kind or enlarge or add to the outside dimensions of any building or relocate any building or structure already erected... without first having obtained from the Building Inspector of the city a permit therefor." Permit applications are available through the city's OpenGov permit portal.

Appendix G states, under "Inspection Required": "Work shall not be done beyond the point indicated in each successive inspection within the adopted code without first obtaining the approval of the building official. The building official, upon notification, shall make the requested inspections and shall either indicate the portion of the construction that is satisfactory as completed, or shall notify the permit holder or an agent of the permit holder wherein the same fails to comply with this code. Any portions that do not comply shall be corrected and such portion shall not be covered or concealed until authorized by the building official."
