A note on these figures from the official schedule. Details

Farmersville's schedule says per-square-foot fees count the entire square footage of the structure under roof. For a remodel, enter the whole building's square footage, not only the remodeled area, and confirm with the City how it measures a remodel.

In Farmersville, a building permit for a remodel runs $425.00 in permit fees, a $20,000 re-roof $300.00, a $10,000 HVAC change-out $300.00, a $10,000 electrical panel upgrade or rewire $125.00, and a $10,000 whole-house repipe $125.00. 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.
