Celina City Council took up a Master Fee Chart replacement ordinance on its November 10, 2026 consent agenda; the outcome has not been published yet. The proposal keeps the permit rates shown here, adds a $150 minimum to commercial finish-out plan review, charges the extra plan review fee from the third review instead of the fourth, raises the commercial temporary trailer permit to $300, and adds residential fire sprinkler and after-hours work fees.
In Celina, a building permit for a remodel runs $375.00 in permit fees, a $20,000 re-roof $100.00, a $10,000 HVAC change-out $100.00, a $10,000 electrical panel upgrade or rewire $100.00, and a $10,000 whole-house repipe $100.00. Totals include the documented surcharges and minimum fees; where the schedule prices by unit, figures assume a 200 sq ft remodel area. Each figure is that single permit only: a job that combines trades, like a kitchen remodel with electrical and plumbing work, pays each applicable permit.
