About each permit
Commercial Building Permit
A $300 non-refundable application fee falls due at submission on every new shell, stand-alone building, alteration, remodel, addition and finish-out — before any permit issues and whether or not it does. The permit itself is $6.25 per $1,000 of valuation, and the valuation is set by the town from ICC Building Valuation Data multiplied by gross area, not by what you declare. Two deductions are written into the method and worth claiming: 20 per cent off construction cost for a shell-only building, and 50 per cent off for a finish-out. Multifamily is charged at $9.375 per $1,000 instead, one application per building.
Contractor Registration
$100 a year each, and the ordinance says all contractors must register with the town — with one carve-out worth knowing: except where such registration is prohibited by state law. Texas licenses electricians, plumbers and air conditioning contractors at state level and bars cities from requiring a separate local registration of them, so the practical reach of this fee is narrower than the words suggest. Ask the town which trades it actually registers.
Single-Trade and Miscellaneous Inspection Permit
Miscellaneous inspections — backflow prevention, electrical, mechanical and plumbing — are $50 each. Demolition, fence, foundation repair, lawn irrigation, concrete flatwork and a construction trailer are each $100. Reinspections run $50, then $75, then $100, and rise by $25 for each one after that, so a fourth visit is $125 and a fifth $150. An after-hours inspection is $100 with a two-hour minimum. Lawn irrigation carries a condition rather than just a fee: the inspection must be done by a certified backflow tester who reports to the building inspector.
Certificate of Occupancy
The ordinance sets out two amounts and clearly labels only one of them. Item 8 reads in full: "Certificate of occupancy: $100.00 / $250.00 for a TCO valid for 90 days." The likely intent is $100 for the certificate and $250 for a temporary certificate running 90 days, but the drafting does not say so, and the page was checked as an image to rule out an extraction fault. Confirm which figure applies to you with Building Inspections before budgeting, and note that a temporary certificate here is the dearer of the two on any reading — unusual, and a reason to finish inspections rather than trade early.
