One thing to know about Bixby is that officers are cross-deputized with the Muscogee Nation. Traffic citations for tribal citizens are forwarded to Muscogee Nation courts rather than the Bixby municipal court. This means some cases involving Bixby residents may be in the tribal court system instead of the city or county system. If your background check comes up short, this could be why.

The City Clerk is Shannon Duran. The Bixby City Clerk's office handles permits and licensing. The Permit Technician is LaQuenda Jackson. The MyGov online portal handles business licensing. In-person services are at Bixby City Hall. Payment is accepted by credit card, debit card, check, or cash.
