Plumbing in McKinney
McKinney's Permit Fee Schedule for New Construction, Remodels, and Repairs lists a Plumbing Permit Fee of $40.00 and Residential Water Heater Permits at $40.00. The schedule carries no date, so ask the city whether those amounts are current; its footer gives 221 N. Tennessee, P.O. Box 517, McKinney, TX 75069, (972) 547-7400. McKinney's Development Services page carries a fraud alert: the city doesn't require an "Application Approval Fee" to be paid before a permit is issued.
That page also lists Building Inspections at 469-617-4800, Development Services at 972-547-7475 and Code Services at 972-547-7445. McKinney's lead FAQ says lead and copper sampling results are published each year in the Consumer Confidence Report, also called the Water Quality Report. The FAQ defines high-risk homes as those with a lead service line, pre-1986 copper pipe with lead solder, or older brass fixtures. McKinney's system in EPA's federal data is City Of Mckinney (PWSID TX0430039), assigned through its operator's address; it serves 224,043 people, all of them on purchased surface water.
Census figures for 2020 to 2024 put McKinney's median year built at 2007. If anyone asks you for an approval fee before a permit is issued, remember the city's alert: McKinney doesn't require that fee, and it issues legitimate invoices only from its Citizen Self Service Portal.
