Where this section sits in the code
  1. OK Code
  2. Title 11

A. Any plat of a municipality or addition thereto or any

subdivision of land may be vacated by the owners thereof at any time

before the sale of any lots therein by a written instrument

declaring the same to be vacated, duly executed, acknowledged or

proved and recorded in the same office with the plat to be vacated.

The executing and recording of the written instrument, bearing the

approval or consent of the municipality in which the plat is

situated, shall operate to destroy the force and effect of the

recording of the plat so vacated, and to divest all public rights in

the public ways, commons, and public grounds laid out as described

in the plat.

B. Where any lots in the plat sought to be vacated have been

sold, the plat or a portion thereof may be vacated as provided in

subsection A of this section, provided that the owners of sixty

percent (60%) of the lots in the plat and all of the owners in the

area to be vacated join in the execution of the written instrument,

the instrument bears the approval of the municipality in which the

plat is situated, and such action is not prohibited by any

restrictive covenants encumbering the lots in plat.

C. Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions, any plat of record

in the office of the county clerk in the county in which the real

property is situated, for a period of not less than ten (10) years,

which bears the approval of the municipality in which the real

property is situated, which replats an existing plat, or a portion

thereof, shall be deemed a lawful replatting of any plat, or portion

thereof, thereby vacating the plat, or a portion thereof, which is

replatted.

D. This section shall not be construed as applying to any of

the territory included within the limits of any incorporated

municipality created and organized under and by virtue of a special

act of the Legislature.
