That situation wouldn't be allowed for long by the code officers in Stillwater. If you let your house run down too much the city will try to make you tear it down or fix it up. Furthermore, if you let poison ivy grow in your front yard, you risk the code officer taking a picture of it and hang it on your door with a notice to get rid of it.

then out for income (secondary)......forget about inground pools , if they went
swimming




IT WAS AT GRAND LAKE.

It's an old joke: "How do you tell a rich Okie from a poor Okie? The rich Okie has two old cars up on blocks in his front yard".

My parents were from Oklahoma and my dad told me that joke.

Well, these days, you'll have a hard time finding a car up on blocks in Stillwater for long in a front yard. You can't even just abandon your old car in the front yard off the driveaway on the grass at your home in Stillwater for very long. The expired car tag on the car will eventually give you away to the city code enforcers as my mother found out with her old car. She solved the problem by telling my brother, who is a mechanic, he could have her car by starting it up and driving it to his place. He did. My other brother solved her poison ivy problem by getting rid of it for her. The city codes may sound too oppressive and prohibitive to some people, but I believe they work to keep properties values from declining in value. Home prices are well up in Stillwater this year.

The Stillwater city code officers will send you a letter complaining your grass is too high in your front yard as well. People who feel they should have the right to let their front yards and homes be as overgrown and run down as they want shouldn't move to Stillwater. Move to the country to live that way.

Stillwater has implemented Universal HOA?

It seems like it. My mother didn't object much when the city code officers were after her about something or the other. She simply took care of it. But I don't mind it much, since I don't need neighbors to decline the value of my property by letting their houses run down. It does Stillwater a lot of good. As a result, Stillwater doesn't look like an old, run down, weathered dump of a town when you drive through it like it does in Idabel. I had no idea an Oklahoma town could look so damned bad.

It took a lot of time but the city of Stillwater finally forced a property owner to level his dilapidated old homes: https://www.stwnewspress.com/news/ci...3db7cc102.html
