SB 2154 Oklahoma Senate · 2026 Regular Session

Powers of municipalities; requiring certain notice to lienholder. Effective date.

SB 2154 requires Oklahoma municipalities to provide written notice to both property owners *and* lienholders of record before cleaning neglected properties or mowing overgrown weeds/grass. The notice must be mailed 10 days in advance, detailing required actions and stating that failure to comply will result in municipal cleanup and a lien. Municipalities must then send a cost statement to both parties, with cleanup costs becoming a lien on the property that ranks equally with property taxes. The bill also allows municipalities to summarily abate neglect within six months of the initial notice without additional warning, streamlining enforcement for recurring issues.
