Lucas, TX Permit Fees (2026)
Building permit fees and building, electrical, plumbing, mechanical/HVAC, and roofing permit fees for Lucas, straight from the official fee schedule, with a free permit fee calculator below.
A note on these figures from the official schedule. Details
Two fees included for new homes come from 2015 city ordinances: the $250 fire sprinkler review and the $60 stormwater run-off fee. Texas law (Local Government Code 214.908) ends a city building permit fee ten years after it was adopted unless the city council holds a hearing and votes to reauthorize it. We have not found a reauthorization for either fee, though the city's budgets show both still being collected, so confirm them with Lucas Development Services before relying on them.
In Lucas, a building permit for a remodel runs $175.00 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.

How to Apply for a Permit in Lucas
The City of Lucas Development Services department issues building, electrical, plumbing, mechanical, roofing, pool, fence, irrigation and fire suppression permits inside the city limits. Applications are submitted online through the MGO Connect Customer Portal, and incomplete submissions are not accepted. Every general contractor and licensed trade must first register with the city through the same portal, uploading a driver's license, trade licenses and proof of commercial general liability insurance listing the City of Lucas as certificate holder. A new home application lists the registered general, electrical, plumbing and HVAC contractors and includes a stamped Collin County septic application, brick calculations, energy code compliance reports, a plot plan with a preliminary drainage plan, engineered foundation plans and a water meter application. Every new home must include a fire suppression system, and its plans are reviewed under a separate fire permit before framing. Remodels, additions and accessory buildings over 200 square feet need plans and, where plumbing is added, Collin County septic approval. Water heaters, electrical and plumbing work all require a permit and inspection. City Hall is at 665 Country Club Road and is open Monday to Friday, 8 am to 5 pm.
