Roofing in McKinney
McKinney's Roofing Guide gives the re-roof permit fee as a flat $200.00, and a city fee schedule, as of March 29, 2024, shows Residential Re-Roof Permits at $200.00 too. The guide is a 2020 handout, so its figures carry that year. Its minimum requirements for re-roofing, effective January 7, 2020, say permits are required for all roofing projects. All asphalt shingle projects need drip edge. Existing layers must come off where the roof is water-soaked, is wood shake, slate, clay or cement tile, or has two or more applications, with exceptions listed; damaged vents and flashing are replaced, exhaust vents need dampers and screens, and a building final inspection closes the job.
That 2020 guide also says the work shall comply with the 2018 IRC. The City of McKinney, P.O. Box 517, 221 N. Tennessee, McKinney, Texas 75069, is reached at (972) 547-7400; Building Inspections is at 469-617-4800, and applications are filed in the CSS portal. McKinney's housing stock has a 2007 median year built (per ACS 2020-2024), and homes were valued at a median $439,500 in ACS 2023. The same 2020 guide says Texas has no state licensing for roofers and that when storms hit North Texas the city sees an influx of out-of-town roofers.
After a weather-related catastrophe, TDI can stretch claim deadlines another 15 days. Once the permit issues, it has to be posted where it's visible from the street, so look for it before the tear-off starts.
