Foundation work in McKinney
McKinney's permit fee schedule lists Residential Foundation Repair Permits at $75.00, on the same list as a $30.00 fence permit, a $40.00 water heater permit and a $200.00 re-roof. The schedule carries no effective date and says nothing about code editions or engineer letters. The one code reference on the city's pages is a roofing guide effective January 7, 2020 that cites the 2018 International Residential Code, a handout old enough that the edition may have changed.
Building Inspections is 469-617-4800 and Development Services 972-547-7475, the Development Services page says, and the same page warns that McKinney does not require an "Application Approval Fee" to be paid for a permit to be issued. Code Services is 972-547-7445. The fee schedule's footer gives (972) 547-7400 and the city's address at 221 N. Tennessee; its P.O. Box is 517. The 2020 to 2024 Census estimates date McKinney's typical home to 2007; owners occupy 63.8 percent of homes, and those homes sit at a $471,800 median.
Civil engineers in ASCE's Texas Section date their first foundation guidelines to October 2002 and its current evaluation-and-repair Version 3 to April 2022, and calls them guidelines rather than standards. Call Building Inspections to confirm the $75.00 row is your repair's permit and to learn the code edition its inspector applies.
