Okla. Admin. Code § 265:10 § 265:10-3-5
Clarification of residential rules
Operative Text
None of the above rules of this subchapter, promulgated by the State Fire Marshal Commission, shall be construed to apply to any building or structure except such buildings or structures enumerated in Section 265:10-3-4.
Oklahoma Administrative Code § 265:10-3-5 limits the reach of the fire safety rules contained in this subchapter by clarifying that they apply only to the specific categories of buildings and structures listed in § 265:10-3-4. Any building or structure not enumerated in that companion section falls outside the scope of these State Fire Marshal Commission regulations. The provision functions as a boundary rule, preventing the subchapter's requirements from being read more broadly than intended.
Plain English — not legal advice.
Under § 265:10-3-5, property owners and managers should first confirm whether their building or structure is listed among the types enumerated in § 265:10-3-4 before determining whether this subchapter's fire safety rules apply to their property. Compliant operators typically review the enumerated building categories carefully and document their property's classification. If a property type does not appear in § 265:10-3-4, the rules of this subchapter, as clarified by § 265:10-3-5, are not intended to govern it.

Section 265:10-3-5 of the Oklahoma Administrative Code means that the fire safety protections established in this subchapter extend only to residents living in the building types specifically listed in § 265:10-3-4. Tenants who believe their residence falls within one of those enumerated categories may have grounds to raise the subchapter's requirements in relevant proceedings or inquiries. Consulting a tenant-rights organization or reviewing the State Fire Marshal Commission's published guidance can help clarify whether a particular dwelling type is covered.
