Plano, TX Permit Fees (2026)
Building permit fees and building, electrical, plumbing, mechanical/HVAC, and roofing permit fees for Plano, straight from the official fee schedule, with a free permit fee calculator below.
A note on these figures from the official schedule. Details
Plano adopted a citywide Master Fee Schedule (Ordinance No. 2026-10-11) on October 26, 2026. It takes effect on January 1, 2027 and restates the building inspection fees shown here at the same amounts, so these figures are not expected to move. A stand-alone commercial electrical, HVAC or plumbing job may be billed as a Simple Trade Permit ($100 without plans, $125 with plans) instead of the $70 to $130 floor-area fee shown by default; ask Building Inspections which applies. See the official notice
In Plano, a building permit for a remodel runs $276.00 in permit fees, a $20,000 re-roof $75.00, a $10,000 HVAC change-out $85.00, a $10,000 electrical panel upgrade or rewire $85.00, and a $10,000 whole-house repipe $85.00. 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 Plano
Plano's Building Inspections Department issues building, electrical, plumbing, mechanical and roofing permits inside the city limits. Permit applications are PDF forms published on the city's Building Permits page, with separate forms for residential work, commercial work, miscellaneous simple permits, swimming pools and spas, demolition, structure moving, certificates of occupancy and signs. Plans are submitted electronically following the city's Electronic Plan Submittal Requirements. Contractors must hold a current City of Plano registration before they can pull a permit or schedule an inspection, and that registration is renewed annually for a fee that is separate from the permit. Permit status, registered contractor lookup and inspection scheduling run through the city's eTRAKiT portal; inspections can also be requested through the automated telephone system or by text message. Homeowners who pulled their own permit schedule inspections by calling or emailing the department, and emailed requests take about 24 hours. The Municipal Center is open Monday through Friday, 8 am to 5 pm.
