Data through September 2026 · updated 19 Oct 2026
3,360 new home permits were issued in McKinney, October 2024 through September 2026: about 1,680 a year and 80% of all permits. 1,378 new home permits in the last 12 months (Oct 2025–Sep 2026), 30% fewer than the 1,982 in the 12 months before. The busiest month is February. The usual one took 195 days from issue to the city's final.
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.

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.
