Where Wylie permits can be found
| Where | Search by | What it shows |
|---|---|---|
| City permits desk (972-516-6100, option 3; permits@wylietexas.gov) | Address or permit number, by request | The City's own permit record, including status and inspections |
| Collin CAD Building Permits (open data) | Any column: street number and name, ZIP, permit number, builder name | Permit number, type, issue date, the issuing city, builder name and recorded value; no status |
| Our Wylie pages | Kind of work, month | Counts of permits on homes, and the most active builders by volume |
The appraisal district records permits on homes only, and only in Collin County. Commercial permits are not in its file, and neither is the part of Wylie in Dallas and Rockwall counties.
How to look up the permits on a Wylie address
- Open Collin CAD Building Permits on data.texas.gov and choose to view the data.
- Filter situsCity to Wylie, then situsStreetName to your street and situsBldgNum to the house number.
- Read each row's permitTypeDescr, permitIssuedDate and permitBuilderName. City permits show permitIssuedBy as WYLIE CITY; a row naming another office, such as Collin County, was not a City of Wylie permit.
- To learn whether the permit was finaled, email permits@wylietexas.gov or call Building Inspections at 972-516-6423 with the permit number from step 3.
- If the house is in the Dallas or Rockwall county part of Wylie, skip the appraisal file and ask the City directly.
What the statuses mean
The appraisal district's copy has no status and no final date, so it can't show whether a permit passed its final inspection, and our Wylie pages show no finished share or time to final. Many permits the district lists as miscellaneous give no details; we count those under Other. Only the City's own record shows a permit's status.
When the record is not online
Use the City Secretary's Public Information Requests page, which links a form for "City of Wylie records" (everything except police). The City says copies cost 10 cents a page; for records kept at its offsite facility "there will be a transportation fee of $15 plus retrieval fees of $5 totaling $20 plus the copy charge"; and "you will be contacted within ten (10) business days from the date of your request" (read 24 October 2026). The City Secretary's Office is at 972-516-6022.
What our Wylie pages add
Our Wylie page counts the City's permits on homes as the appraisal district records them, September 2025 to September 2026:
| Kind of work | Permits (Sep 2025–Sep 2026) | Last 12 months (Oct 2025–Sep 2026) |
|---|---|---|
| Roofing | 1,043 | 813 |
| Remodels and repairs | 271 | 249 |
| Plumbing | 238 | 220 |
| HVAC | 225 | 216 |
| Garages, sheds and shade structures | 139 | 122 |
The window starts in September 2025 because before that the district filed many re-roofs as miscellaneous permits with no details. The permit statistics page has the file by month, and browse permits lists the rows without owner names or street addresses. To check the license of a plumber, electrician or HVAC contractor on a permit, use How to check a contractor's license in Texas.
What this does not tell you
The appraisal file is a partial copy: homes only, Collin County only, no status. It names builders, but we have not matched them to Texas license records, so our pages count permits per firm and don't rate or rank them. About half of permits carry a recorded value.
How we know this
The permits desk details are quoted from the City of Wylie Building Inspection page, and the request rules from the City Secretary's Public Information Requests page, both read 24 October 2026. Our counts are the Collin Central Appraisal District's building permit file (data.texas.gov 82ee-gbj5), read 20 October 2026: City of Wylie permits on homes issued September 2025 to September 2026.
Numbers come from public permit records in 57 cities, data through October 20, 2026. Nobody paid to be on this page and nobody can.
