McKinney, TX building permits

Data through September 2026 · updated 19 Oct 2026

4,194 building permits in the City of McKinney new-home and commercial permit file were issued in McKinney from October 2024 to September 2026, about 2,097 a year. New home permits lead with 3,360. 80% were for homes. The city's file doesn't name contractors, so we can't rank, compare or profile firms here: these pages show what was built, when and how fast the city signed it off.

What this file covers: McKinney publishes dated permits only for new homes and commercial buildings (new buildings, additions and finish-outs). Its trade, re-roof, remodel, pool and other home permits are not in the file, so the totals here are far below everything the city issues.

Hiring someone here?

The permit file can't tell you who does good work. Ask for the contractor's license number and look it up at the Texas Department of Licensing and Regulation license search, then ask the city whether they pulled the permit for your job.

How these numbers are made

Source: City of McKinney GIS, Snapshotv2 map service: Residential Permits (layer 3) and Commercial Permits (layer 4), read 19 Oct 2026. We count permits issued October 2024 through September 2026; denied and withdrawn permits are left out.

New-home permits and commercial building permits (new buildings, additions and finish-outs) the City of McKinney issues inside the city limits. The city publishes no dated file of its trade, re-roof, remodel, pool or other home permits, so those are not here. Unincorporated Collin County and neighboring Allen, Frisco, Prosper and Melissa issue their own permits.

  • The city's file names no contractor (builder), so there are no contractor lists, rankings or firm pages for McKinney.
  • Only new homes and commercial building permits are published with dates: McKinney's trade, re-roof, remodel and pool permits are not in this file, so the totals here are far below everything the city issues.
  • The file has no status column. A permit with a completion date counts as finished and every other permit as open; cancelled or lapsed permits can't be told apart from work in progress.
  • Days to final run from the issue date to the city's completion date, which for a new home is roughly how long it took to build.
  • Value is the valuation declared on the permit, not the sale price of the home.
  • The file has no ZIP code, so there are no ZIP pages for McKinney.

Counts are permits, not jobs: one job can need several permits. Nobody paid to be on this page and nobody can. Sources and definitions →
