Okla. Stat. tit. 2, § 2-16-61: Notice to adjoining property owners of harvesting

operations.

A. 1. Any timber owner involved in a logging or timber

harvesting operation shall clearly mark any established property

lines which are within one hundred (100) feet of the area to be cut.

2. If there is no established property line, the timber owner

authorizing the logging or timber harvesting operation shall send by

certified mail, return receipt requested, written notice of the

logging or timber harvesting operation to the owner of record in the

office of the county assessor or records of the county treasurer of

any real property adjoining the cutting area at least ten (10) days

prior to the commencement of the operation.

3. If the timber owner is unable to ascertain the address of

the legal residence of the owner of record as recorded in the office

of the county assessor or records of the county treasurer of any

real property adjoining the cutting area, notice of the logging or

timber harvesting operation shall be given by publication. The

notice shall be published once in a newspaper of general circulation

in the county in which the operation is to occur specifying the

owner of the property and the legal description. The notice shall

be published at least ten (10) days prior to commencement of the

operation.

B. If the timber owner fails to clearly mark any established

property lines or fails to mail or publish any notice to the

abutting real property owners as required by this section and, as a

result of that failure, timber is harvested or other damage occurs

on any abutting real property without the consent of the owner, the

timber owner shall be liable in damages pursuant to Section 72 of

Title 23 of the Oklahoma Statutes to the owner of the abutting real

property.

C. The provisions of this section shall not relieve the owner

of the real property on which the timber is located from liability

pursuant to Section 72 of Title 23 of the Oklahoma Statutes for

failing to clearly mark or mismarking any property lines required by

this section.
