  • The 10 busiest firms usually file $3,000; the 143 firms with fewer than 10 permits usually file $3,200.
  • Firms working on the most expensive third of homes (usual home value $362,771 and up) usually file $3,404, against $2,750 for the least expensive third.
  • One permit type covers small and large jobs: 1 in 10 electrical permits is filed under $800 and 1 in 10 over $10,800, 14 times as much.

How these numbers are made

Source: City of Denton Building Safety permits on homes (the city's yearly permit reports). The window is October 2023 through September 2026; a permit filed after that isn't here yet.

Usual is the middle permit: half were filed for less, half for more. Only permits with a filed value count; a value of $0 or none is left out.

The spread is approximate: we keep seven points of each firm's own range of filed values, not every permit, and pool them.
