Re-Roofing

Permit required above 25% of the roof, no underlayment inspection on asphalt shingle, and a city final the homeowner is allowed to waive.

Same as: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Domestic_roof_construction

Relations:

• PART_OF → Roof, Structure & Envelope
• RELATES_TO → Building permit
• RELATES_TO → Building code

Yes. The City of Plano's Re-Roof Residential Permit Requirements handout (form FM624RY003) states that a roof permit is required on all re-roof projects, and roof replacement appears on the department's plain-language When Is a Permit Required? list. Re-Roof Residential is a distinct permit category on the City's fee schedule and a distinct checkbox on its Miscellaneous Simple Permit Application. The exemption is a proportion, and it decides whether a missing record means anything: re-roof work not exceeding 25% of the roof does not require a permit .

Foundation Repair

Permit plus a Texas-registered engineer's seal on the pier plan; drawings marked 'for pricing only' are rejected outright.

Same as: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Foundation_(engineering)

Relations:

• PART_OF → Roof, Structure & Envelope
• RELATES_TO → Expansive clay soil
• RELATES_TO → Building permit

Yes, and it is one of the categories Plano is least ambiguous about. Foundation repairs appears by name on the Building Inspection Department's When Is a Permit Required? handout, Foundation Permit is a standalone fee-schedule category, and Foundation Repair is its own checkbox on the Miscellaneous Simple Permit Application. There is no published exemption and no "minor repair" carve-out comparable to the 25% rule that exempts small roof and fence jobs. The reason is structural to Plano's ordinance rather than discretionary.

New Residential Construction

A long inspection sequence and no certificate of occupancy: the city's own guide says COs are not issued for single-family homes.

Relations:

• PART_OF → Roof, Structure & Envelope
• RELATES_TO → Building permit
• RELATES_TO → Building code

New Single Family Residence is its own permit category in Plano, alongside Duplex and Residential Townhomes. The general contractor must be registered with the City, and a sub-contractor validation sheet is required for the mechanical, plumbing and electrical contractors, each of whom must hold the relevant Texas state licence. Those three trades are licensed by the state; the general contractor is not, and registers with the City instead.

Room Additions

Full plan review, an engineering letter when building on an existing slab, and a named line on the Texas seller's disclosure notice.

Relations:

• PART_OF → Roof, Structure & Envelope
• RELATES_TO → Building permit
• RELATES_TO → Expansive clay soil

Yes, without qualification. Building additions appears on the Building Inspection Department's list of work requiring a permit, and Residential Addition/Alteration/Backyard Cottage is a distinct category on the City's fee schedule. The governing document is the Residential Addition / Alteration Permit Requirements & Checklist , form FM624RY024. There is no square-footage floor.

Room Additions | Plano Home Inspection — published by Plano Home Inspection

Structural Alterations

Load-bearing work needs a full alteration permit, and Plano's existing building code defines a structure by the edition of its last approved final.

Relations:

• PART_OF → Roof, Structure & Envelope
• RELATES_TO → Building code
• RELATES_TO → Legal nonconforming status

Plano's plain-language permit list covers remodeling of a building requiring the addition or replacement of walls or windows , and exempts only cosmetic work: painting, wallpapering, carpeting, cabinets and trim, plus fixture replacement on existing systems. The clearest statement of the boundary is negative, and it comes from the City's own shortcut form.

Structural Alterations | Plano Home Inspection — published by Plano Home Inspection

Window Replacement

A permit is required, there is no window inspection code, and the issue date tells you which energy code the glass had to meet.

Relations:

• PART_OF → Roof, Structure & Envelope
• RELATES_TO → Building code

Replacing windows in a Plano house requires a building permit. The rule sits on the city's own list of permit-required work — the Building Inspections handout When Is a Permit Required? , form FM624MP010 — which names “remodeling of a building requiring the addition or replacement of walls or windows.” The same handout exempts cosmetic work: painting, wallpapering, carpeting, cabinets and trim, plus replacement of fixtures on existing systems. Windows sit on the permit side of that line.

Window Replacement | Plano Home Inspection — published by Plano Home Inspection

Siding and Cladding

Re-cladding that opens wall assemblies needs a permit; once the siding is up, the barrier and sheathing behind it are permanently out of view.

Relations:

• PART_OF → Roof, Structure & Envelope
• RELATES_TO → Building code

Plano publishes no siding handout. The department issues permit-requirements sheets for re-roofing, fences, pools, patio covers, carports, accessory buildings, driveway approaches, irrigation, generators and foundation repair. For exterior cladding there is nothing, and the residential fee schedule carries no siding category either. Whether Plano issues a standalone residential siding replacement as its own permit type is not published, and this reference does not assert that it does. What is published is the general rule.

Siding and Cladding | Plano Home Inspection — published by Plano Home Inspection

Demolition

A permit is required and the city's form disclaims almost everything; what reads in the record is whether the rebuild was permitted.

Same as: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Demolition

Relations:

• PART_OF → Roof, Structure & Envelope
• RELATES_TO → Building permit

Demolition is permit-required work in Plano. It appears by name on the Building Inspections handout When Is a Permit Required? (form FM624MP010) and is a distinct residential category on the fee schedule. Demolition contractors sit inside Plano's general contractor registration category, which means annual registration with the city — and, as with roofing, foundation, concrete and fence contractors, no Texas state licence stands behind that category .

Demolition | Plano Home Inspection — published by Plano Home Inspection

Electrical Panel Upgrades

Plano moved to the 2023 NEC on 1 August 2025, and its amendment to 230.85(C) pulls the whole section into any service equipment replacement.

Same as: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Distribution_board

Relations:

• PART_OF → Electrical, Plumbing & Mechanical
• RELATES_TO → Building code
• RELATES_TO → Legal nonconforming status

Yes. Electrical work requires a permit in Plano, and the City's published permit-required list draws exactly one exclusion from it: the replacement of switches, plugs and ballasts. Replacing service equipment — the panel, the meter can, the main disconnect — sits nowhere near that exclusion, and the fee schedule carries an Electrical Permit as its own residential category. The trade is restricted. An electrical contractor must register with the City annually and hold a current Texas State Master Electrical licence.

Electrical Panel Upgrades | Plano Home Inspection — published by Plano Home Inspection

General Electrical Work

The permit-required list exempts only switches, plugs and ballasts, so almost any circuit work in a Plano house should have left a record.

Relations:

• PART_OF → Electrical, Plumbing & Mechanical
• RELATES_TO → Building code
• RELATES_TO → Legal nonconforming status

Almost all of it. The City's When Is a Permit Required? handout lists "electrical work" as permit-required and draws a single exclusion in parentheses: switch, plug and ballast replacement. Everything else — new circuits, rewiring, a subpanel, a hardwired appliance connection, a garage finish-out — falls on the permit side of that line. The same handout sets out what is not permitted work, and the list is short and genuinely cosmetic: painting, wallpapering, carpeting, cabinets and trim work, plus fixture replacement on existing systems.

General Electrical Work | Plano Home Inspection — published by Plano Home Inspection

Water Heater Replacement

Code 680 PL WATER HEATER FINAL is the whole of the city's involvement — one visit, at the end, on a job already finished.

Same as: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Water_heating

Relations:

• PART_OF → Electrical, Plumbing & Mechanical
• RELATES_TO → Building permit

Yes. "Water heaters, water softeners" is its own line on the City's published list of work requiring a permit, and Plano maintains a dedicated inspection code for the job — 680 PL WATER HEATER FINAL . A city that gives a task its own inspection code is a city that expects to see permits for it. The exemption most often invoked does not reach it. Plano exempts fixture replacement on existing systems along with the cosmetic trades — painting, wallpapering, carpeting, cabinets and trim. Replacing a tap is fixture replacement.

Water Heater Replacement | Plano Home Inspection — published by Plano Home Inspection

Sewer Line Replacement

Codes 300 PL YARD SEWER and 335 PL UNDERGROUND happen in an open trench; after backfill, nobody can confirm any of it again.

Same as: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sanitary_sewer

Relations:

• PART_OF → Electrical, Plumbing & Mechanical
• RELATES_TO → Building permit

Yes. "Water/sewer line replacement" is a named line on the City's published list of work requiring a permit, and the only thing the City excludes in the same breath is washer and faucet exchanges. There is no partial-replacement threshold published for this work, no square-footage cut-off, and no equivalent of the twenty-five percent rule that exempts small re-roofs and small fence repairs. The trade is licence-backed.

Sewer Line Replacement | Plano Home Inspection — published by Plano Home Inspection

Gas Line Work

Gas piping is permitted plumbing work in Plano, and the pressure test is the hold point — a measurement, not a visual check.

Same as: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gas_networks

Relations:

• PART_OF → Electrical, Plumbing & Mechanical
• RELATES_TO → Building code

Gas line work in Plano is permitted as plumbing work. The City's permit-required list names "plumbing work" among the categories needing a permit, and the Miscellaneous Simple Permit Application carries a Plumbing checkbox rather than a separate gas category. There is no published gas-specific permit type and no published threshold below which gas piping is exempt. The requirement reappears wherever gas attaches to another job. Outdoor gas appliances have their own Plano handout. A pool heater draws its own inspection code for the gas line serving it.

Gas Line Work | Plano Home Inspection — published by Plano Home Inspection

HVAC Changeouts

Plano keeps an inspection code for exactly this job — 490 ME FINAL HVAC CHANGEOUT-RES — and it is the only visit the permit gets.

Same as: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/HVAC

Relations:

• PART_OF → Electrical, Plumbing & Mechanical
• RELATES_TO → Building permit

Yes. "HVAC installation or replacement" appears on the City's published list of work requiring a permit, and the Miscellaneous Simple Permit Application carries an HVAC checkbox as its own line. Plano draws no distinction there between a new system and a like-for-like replacement of existing equipment. The work is restricted by trade. A mechanical contractor must register with the City annually and hold a current Texas State Mechanical licence.

General Plumbing Work

A Plano plumbing permit can cover anything from a water softener to a whole repipe, and the record does not say which.

Relations:

• PART_OF → Electrical, Plumbing & Mechanical
• RELATES_TO → Building permit

The City's published permit-required list names plumbing in four places: "plumbing work" generally, "water heaters, water softeners," "water/sewer line replacement (excluding washer/faucet exchanges)," and "irrigation systems." The same handout says permits are not required for cosmetic work, or for fixture replacement on existing systems. The distinction Plano draws is between replacing something on a system that already exists and altering the system itself. Swapping a faucet is a fixture exchange; moving the supply that feeds it is plumbing work.

Irrigation and Backflow

Three inspections, a backflow certification, and an annual test that outlives the permit — Plano's most procedural residential item.

Same as: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Backflow_prevention_device

Relations:

• PART_OF → Electrical, Plumbing & Mechanical
• RELATES_TO → Building permit

A permit is required for lawn irrigation systems installed after 1 January 2009 — the date the state irrigation rules took effect. "Irrigation systems" appears on the City's permit-required list, and the Miscellaneous Simple Permit Application carries an Irrigation checkbox. That date is the first thing to establish about any Plano sprinkler system, and it is why this page's verdict is what it is rather than something harsher.

Irrigation and Backflow | Plano Home Inspection — published by Plano Home Inspection

Fences

A permit is required to build or replace a fence in Plano; repairs under 25% of the fence area within 12 months are exempt.

Same as: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fence

Relations:

• PART_OF → Site, Yard & Accessory Structures
• RELATES_TO → Building permit

Building a fence in Plano requires a permit. So does replacing one, and so does altering one. The City's When Is a Permit Required? handout lists "building or replacing a fence" among the work that needs a permit, and "Fence" appears as its own checkbox on the Miscellaneous Simple Permit Application — the short-form application Plano uses for single-trade residential jobs. The exemption is narrow, and it is measured rather than judged: repairs not exceeding 25 percent of the fence area within a 12-month period do not require a permit.

Fences | Plano Home Inspection — published by Plano Home Inspection

Patio Covers

Attached patio covers are reviewed as a house addition in Plano, and a patio cover cannot be attached to brick veneer.

Relations:

• PART_OF → Site, Yard & Accessory Structures
• RELATES_TO → Building permit

A patio cover needs a permit in Plano. The City's permit-required list puts it inside the accessory-building category, alongside "permanent and portable storage sheds, gazebos, carports and patio covers," and "Patio Cover" appears as its own checkbox on the Miscellaneous Simple Permit Application. What makes this permit different from the other items on that list is the depth of the review. Plano reviews an attached patio cover as a house addition.

Patio Covers | Plano Home Inspection — published by Plano Home Inspection

Sheds and Accessory Buildings

A shed of 120 sq ft or less is exempt from a Plano building permit, but not from setbacks, height limits, screening or lot coverage.

Relations:

• PART_OF → Site, Yard & Accessory Structures
• RELATES_TO → Building permit

A one-story detached accessory structure not exceeding 120 square feet does not require a building permit in Plano. That threshold comes from IRC Section R105.2 as adopted by the City, and it is the reason a typical back-yard storage shed — a 10 by 12, an 8 by 12, a resin unit from a big-box store — needs no paperwork at all. Everything above the threshold does need one.

Sheds and Accessory Buildings | Plano Home Inspection — published by Plano Home Inspection

Swimming Pools

A Plano pool cannot be plastered until the safety barrier passes inspection, and the pool fence takes a separate permit of its own.

Same as: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Swimming_pool

Relations:

• PART_OF → Site, Yard & Accessory Structures
• RELATES_TO → Building code

Swimming pools and spas are on Plano's permit-required list without qualification, and the City's permit categories separate in-ground pools, above-ground pools, spas and pool-spa combinations. There is no published area or depth threshold that exempts a residential pool. Even a self-contained above-ground unit that plugs in requires a permit and a registered electrician. One structural fact shapes everything that follows: a fence surrounding a residential pool requires its own separate permit .

Driveways and Approaches

Plano publishes the driveway spec - 6 inches, 3000 PSI, #3 steel at 24 inches - and checks it once, before the pour.

Relations:

• PART_OF → Site, Yard & Accessory Structures
• RELATES_TO → Building permit

Yes for the approach. The City of Plano's published list of work requiring a permit names driveway approaches and circular drives . The fee schedule files the work under a category titled “Sidewalk/Approach in Right of Way,” and that title explains the whole permit: the approach is the section of pavement crossing the public right-of-way between the street or alley and the private property line. It is city ground. That is why it is administered separately from a slab poured entirely inside the lot.

Driveways and Approaches | Plano Home Inspection — published by Plano Home Inspection

Retaining Walls

Permit over 4 feet, nothing below it unless the wall carries a surcharge - and Plano publishes no retaining-wall inspection list.

Same as: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Retaining_wall

Relations:

• PART_OF → Site, Yard & Accessory Structures
• RELATES_TO → Expansive clay soil

Plano's published list of work requiring a permit includes retaining walls exceeding 4 feet in height . Below that height the wall falls inside the permit exemption at IRC R105.2 as adopted by the city, with one qualifier carried on the city's fence handout: the exemption does not apply where the wall supports a surcharge or impounds liquids. A surcharge is a load bearing on the soil above and behind the wall that the soil alone would not impose — a driveway or parking pad at the top, a structure near the crest, a slope that keeps climbing.

Retaining Walls | Plano Home Inspection — published by Plano Home Inspection

Tree Removal

Trees at 8 inches DBH are protected in Plano - but not on a finished single-family lot, which is where most people assume they are.

Relations:

• PART_OF → Site, Yard & Accessory Structures
• RELATES_TO → Building permit

An owner of a completed single-family, duplex or single-family attached home in Plano does not need a tree removal permit under the city's tree preservation ordinance to remove a tree on their own lot. The ordinance says so directly, at Zoning Ordinance Article 17, Section 17.800.3 : “This section does not apply to individual single-family, duplex, and single-family attached lots after initial development and final inspection of the dwelling units by the Building Inspection Department.” That sentence is easy to miss, because everything around it is a

Solar PV Systems

Plano files solar under Photovoltaic (Residential) and closes it on code 865 BI FINAL SOLAR - but publishes no solar checklist.

Same as: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Photovoltaic_system

Relations:

• PART_OF → Solar, Generators & EV Charging
• RELATES_TO → Building code

Yes, and three separate pieces of the city's own published material establish it. The Miscellaneous Simple Permit Application carries a checkbox for Solar Panels (Alt. Energy Generation) . The fee schedule carries a residential category called Photovoltaic (Residential) . And the published master inspection code list carries a dedicated code, 865 BI FINAL SOLAR . Underneath those three, the general rule reaches the same result.

Solar PV Systems | Plano Home Inspection — published by Plano Home Inspection

Standby Generators

Six inspections across gas and electrical, plus a signed owner letter stating the generator is for emergency use only.

Same as: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Standby_generator

Relations:

• PART_OF → Solar, Generators & EV Charging
• RELATES_TO → Building code

A standby generator requires a permit in Plano, and unusually, the city publishes what it will inspect. Most Plano permit types do not work that way — the Customer's Guide to the Building Permit Process states that a list of required inspections is provided with the permit when it is issued, so scope is normally defined by a document only the permit holder sees. Generators are one of the few where the city publishes the list in advance, in a document titled Residential Generator Permit Requirements & Checklist .

Standby Generators | Plano Home Inspection — published by Plano Home Inspection

EV Chargers

No Plano EV handout, permit category or inspection code exists; an EV charger closes on the general residential electrical final.

Same as: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Charging_station

Relations:

• PART_OF → Solar, Generators & EV Charging
• RELATES_TO → Building code

Plano publishes no EV charger handout. There is no EV-specific category in the fee schedule and no EV-specific code in the city's published master inspection code list. That absence is documented rather than assumed: the master list is public, and there is nothing on it for electric vehicle supply equipment. What is published is the general rule. Plano's When Is a Permit Required? handout lists electrical work among the work requiring a permit, excluding the replacement of switches, plugs and ballasts.

Building permit

A municipal authorisation to perform specified work, reviewed against the building code in force on the date it issues and inspected at defined hold points. It records that work was declared and reviewed; it does not certify workmanship or condition.

Legal nonconforming status

The principle that lawfully completed construction remains lawful when the code later changes, because the code governs work rather than a standing building. It is why a house may legally retain equipment that would not be approved today.
