Carrollton, TX Permit Fees (2026)
Building permit fees and building, electrical, plumbing, mechanical/HVAC, and roofing permit fees for Carrollton, straight from the official fee schedule, with a free permit fee calculator below.
A note on these figures from the official schedule. Details
Replacing shingles or other roof covering needs no permit in Carrollton; the roofing fee shown applies only when the roof deck or structural members are replaced. Carrollton's building permit fees have been in place since at least 2015, and Texas law (Local Government Code 214.908) ends a building permit fee ten years after adoption unless the city reauthorizes it after a public hearing; we found no such hearing, so these are the fees the city currently charges, pending confirmation. Card payments add a 3.5% convenience fee. Impact fees and water and sewer tap fees are separate and not included. Commercial projects costing $50,000 or more also need accessibility registration with TDLR, paid to TDLR directly.
In Carrollton, a building permit for a $50,000 remodel runs $125.00 in permit fees, a $20,000 re-roof $125.00, a $10,000 HVAC change-out $75.00, a $10,000 electrical panel upgrade or rewire $75.00, and a $10,000 whole-house repipe $75.00. Totals include the documented surcharges and minimum fees. 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.
