Community Development Services

The City of Claremore Community Development Services Department helps guide growth and development within the city’s corporate limits. The team actively works with a number of agencies to coordinate efforts and ensure good practice and compliance.

The department consists of five divisions:

• Planning – Encompasses a broad spectrum of policies, programs, and resources with the goal of improving the lives of people and communities by creating convenient, equitable, healthful, efficient, and attractive environments for present and future generations. This includes subdivision platting, land use and zoning, land development, long and short-range planning, annexation, and sign regulation. The Comprehensive Plan and other short-range plans and utility plans are the guiding documents for staff and the public.
• Permits & Inspections – Assists in ensuring the safe construction and buildings in compliance with the adopted building codes and ordinances.
• Code Enforcement – Addresses concerns related to zoning violations, nuisances, property maintenance, water conservation, and other related issues.
• GIS Mapping – Creates and provides relevant, easy to use mapping applications and spatial data for the public.
• Grants– Applies for and manages State and and Federal grants that help fund and support development in the City.

The department serves as a representative to the City of Claremore-Rogers County Metropolitan Area Planning Commission and the Claremore Board of Adjustment.

Unified Development Code

A Unified Development Code (UDC) has been one of the primary initiatives stemming from the Claremore 2040 Comprehensive Plan. A UDC is generally a set of rules that impact what individuals can do with their land and where/how they can locate their home or business. These important set of rules impact our everyday lives and are currently being updated through this process.
