How is Tulsa zoned?
Tulsa regulates land through 56 zoning districts, and the residential codes state a numbered intensity: single family at 1 through 5 plus an estate district, and multifamily at 1 and 2.
RS-3 is by far the largest district in the city at roughly 40,703 acres, more than five times the next residential district. That concentration means most residential land in Tulsa sits under one designation.
The Corridor districts are the distinguishing framework. A general Corridor district covers roughly 2,864 acres and a numbered variant at 16 covers about 722. Zoning corridors as their own family, at that scale, gives the city a coherent instrument for its main routes rather than a strip of commercial designations.
Agricultural is the second largest classification at roughly 29,967 acres, with an Agricultural And Residential district adding about 513.
Industrial is graduated across light at roughly 10,329 acres, moderate at about 6,769 and heavy at roughly 1,984. Light industrial being the third largest district in the city reflects a substantial employment base.
Commercial runs shopping, general and high, together covering roughly 7,966 acres, and office runs low and medium covering about 2,085.
A Residential Duplex district covers roughly 428 acres. This is pre-development intelligence, not legal advice - verify with the local planning department before acquisition.
