Home Is Where the Heart Is
Build the Home of Your Dreams
Thanks to a better rate of employment and lower cost of living relative to the national average, the dream of home ownership is still alive and well in Tonkawa. From buying to building, you can make yourself at home.
Thinking of relocating? Tonkawa gives you a small-town pace with room to breathe and a short drive to the rest of the region. Interstate 35 runs right alongside town, putting Wichita about 75 miles north and Oklahoma City about 100 miles south, with Edmond on the way. Ponca City, Stillwater, and Enid are each an easy trip a few minutes off the interstate.
For contractors
Are You a Home Builder?
Develop your business by signing up with the city as a licensed contractor. All you need is your contractor's license and a building permit.
