Permits the City of Murphy issues for homes, as the Collin Central Appraisal District records them: re-roofs, mechanical, plumbing and electrical work, foundation repairs, windows, new houses, accessory buildings, solar, pools, additions, remodels and demolition. Commercial property is not counted. Murphy lies wholly in Collin County, and the countywide Collin County file is not published on this site, so nothing here is counted twice.

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, then ask the city whether they pulled the permit for your job.

How these numbers are made

Source: Collin Central Appraisal District, building permits (data.texas.gov dataset 82ee-gbj5), rows for the City of Murphy, read 20 Oct 2026. We count permits issued October 2024 through September 2026; denied and withdrawn permits are left out. The appraisal district's copy has no status and no final date, so no finished share is shown.

Permits the City of Murphy issues for homes, as the Collin Central Appraisal District records them: re-roofs, mechanical, plumbing and electrical work, foundation repairs, windows, new houses, accessory buildings, solar, pools, additions, remodels and demolition. Commercial property is not counted. Murphy lies wholly in Collin County, and the countywide Collin County file is not published on this site, so nothing here is counted twice.

  • Murphy does not publish its own permit file; these are the city's permits on homes as the Collin Central Appraisal District records them from the city's monthly permit reports.
  • The district's copy names a builder or contractor on most permits. We show how many permits the most active ones filed, which is volume, not quality; we have not matched them to Texas license records.
  • The district's copy has no status and no final date, so there is no finished share and no time to final.
  • Re-roof permits jumped from a handful a month to about a hundred from April 2025 and eased off in 2026; the file does not say why.
  • Mechanical, plumbing, electrical, foundation and window permits are filed as miscellaneous and sorted into a kind of work from the district's short note; a few with no note count as other.
  • The value is the permit value the district recorded; most permits carry one.

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