Thinking about a storm shelter in Moore? Here’s what the City of Moore asks for, with links straight to the official pages. Checked October 23, 2026. Rules and fees can change, so the city’s page is always the final word.

Do you need a permit?

Yes. Moore has a dedicated Storm Shelter Permit Application.

Fee: About $30 to $35 (check the current fee schedule), due when the application is submitted.

How it works

  1. Complete Moore’s Storm Shelter Permit Application. For shelters inside the home or garage, it asks for a floor plan showing the shelter and nearby items (walls, garage doors, water heater, breaker box, HVAC).
  2. Plans must be FEMA-approved. The form notes the installer performs third-party inspections to FEMA minimums.
  3. The application has a shelter registration section built in, so registration can happen with the permit.
