Fairview, TX Permit Fees (2026)

Building permit fees and building, electrical, plumbing, mechanical/HVAC, and roofing permit fees for Fairview, straight from the official fee schedule, with a free permit fee calculator below.

A note on these figures from the official schedule. Details

Residential electrical, mechanical and plumbing permit fees follow the Town's November 2025 fee ordinance, which prices each trade by the home's square footage; an older $100 per-trade line is still printed in the Town code, so confirm the trade fee with the Town. Fire plan review fees and impact fees are not included.

In Fairview, a building permit for a remodel runs $305.00 in permit fees, a $20,000 re-roof $100.00, an HVAC change-out $100.00, an electrical panel upgrade or rewire $100.00, and a 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 and a 200 sq ft job 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.
