Where this section sits in the code
  1. OK Code
  2. Title 19

Any person aggrieved by any order or decision of the building

inspector may appeal from the order or decision of the building

inspector to the board of county commissioners. Such appeal shall

be in writing and filed with the county clerk within ten (10) days

after the order or decision is rendered by the building inspector

except in cases of emergency. The decision of the building

inspector shall be final in cases of emergency which in his opinion

involve imminent danger to human life or health. He shall promptly

cause such building, structure, or portion thereof to be made safe

or removed. He is further authorized to vacate all occupants of the

unsafe building or structure and any adjacent structures, as he may

deem necessary. Appeals hereunder shall be on forms provided by the

building inspector and shall state the grounds of appeal. On such

appeals the board of county commissioners shall have the power to

affirm, limit, modify or reverse the order or decision of the

building inspector and where there are practical difficulties or

unnecessary hardships resulting from the strict enforcement of

provisions of the code, the board of county commissioners shall have

the power, in a specific case, to vary any such provision in harmony

with its general purpose and intent so that the public health,

safety, convenience, prosperity and general welfare may be secured

and substantial justice done; provided that any such permitted

variations shall not be construed as amending the code or as a

waiver of any of the other provisions hereof.
