About each permit
Commercial Building Permit
A conventional descending valuation table, but read the note at the foot of it: the building permit fee does NOT include mechanical, electrical or plumbing permits, which are priced separately and can add substantially. Plan review is the bigger surprise at 65 per cent of the total permit fee — the highest plan review ratio in this dataset, against 25 per cent in Allen and The Colony. A third revision review is a further $400. A $250,000 fit-out therefore runs to roughly $1,473 in permit plus about $957 in plan review before any trade permit. Working without a permit is $500.
Certificate of Occupancy
$125, with a temporary certificate valid for 30 days at the same $125 — no premium for the temporary version, which is unusual and makes phasing an opening cheaper here than in Burleson or Prosper. Reinspection is $75 and an overtime inspection $160, the dearest after-hours rate recorded in this dataset.
Parking Lot, Paving and Site Works Permit
Parking lots and paving are $50 for the first 1,000 square feet plus $3 for each additional 100 square feet, so a 10,000 square foot car park is $320. Grading is $60 for the first acre and $25 for each acre after. A driveway approach is $100, an irrigation system $300 and demolition $300. Plan review for a sign, swimming pool or parking lot is a flat $50 rather than the 65 per cent that applies to buildings — a useful distinction when the work is site rather than structure.
Yearly Gas Inspection
$100 a year, and it appears on both the commercial and the MEP schedules — a recurring charge rather than a one-off permit, which sets it apart from almost everything else on those documents. Any premises with a gas supply should budget for it annually alongside the food permit, not just at fit-out.
Mechanical, Electrical, Plumbing and Gas Permit
Charged per unit of work rather than by valuation, and each trade carries its own $70 minimum. A restaurant fit-out with 60 electrical devices, 12 plumbing fixtures, 20 tons of cooling and 8 gas fixtures comes to $180 electrical, $180 plumbing, $400 mechanical and $80 gas — $840, none of which is covered by the building permit. The mechanical rate by cooling tonnage is worth noting for anyone specifying kit: every extra ton is $20.
