Foundation work in Plano
Plano publishes no foundation repair permit rule online, and no fee for one. The only code reference printed is a 2016 re-roof sheet citing the 2015 International Residential Code as amended by Ordinance 2016-3-12, a handout from that year that may not reflect the edition in force now. Plano's inspections office is at 1520 K Avenue, Suite 140, Plano, TX 75074, and keeps office hours of 8 am to 5 pm, Monday through Friday.
Census estimates value Plano's owner-occupied housing at $465,900 at the median and date the typical unit to 1993. Before anyone files for you, call Building Inspections at 972-941-7140 or write to buildingpermits@plano.gov with three questions: does a foundation repair need a permit, what does it cost, and which code edition will the inspector use.
