What Is an AHJ?
The Oklahoma AHJ Hierarchy
Source: Oklahoma State Fire Marshal — Official AHJ List. AHJ agreements are 3-year contracts. Verify current status with the Oklahoma State Fire Marshal before relying on this list for a specific project.
| 1 | State-Owned or State-Occupied Property | The Oklahoma State Fire Marshal has statewide jurisdiction over any state-owned or state-occupied property, regardless of location. |
|---|---|---|
| 2 | Statewide Default | The Oklahoma State Fire Marshal is the default commercial building and fire AHJ across Oklahoma, unless a county or city/town has an active AHJ agreement. |
| 3 | County AHJ | A county with an active AHJ agreement may exercise AHJ authority in the unincorporated portions of that county. |
| 4 | City / Town AHJ | An incorporated city or town with an active AHJ agreement may exercise AHJ authority within its limits — the most granular tier. |
| 5 | Tribal Trust Property | Tribal trust property is generally outside State Fire Marshal jurisdiction; the applicable tribal government has authority unless it formally requests State Fire Marshal jurisdiction. |
