How each fee is calculated

Roof replacement

Fee basis: Flat fee.

Project value on this row: low $8,000, typical $12,000, high $22,000.

City of Plano Building Inspections Department fee schedule, retrieved Sep 1, 2026. These totals are a City of Plano Building Inspections Department permit.

The city is the City of Plano, not Dallas or Frisco. For a residential roof replacement, a permit is required.

The official path is a flat residential reroof. The official fee band is $75.00 / $75.00 / $75.00.

The official typical project value is $12,000. Listed assumed valuations are $8,000 low, $12,000 typical, and $22,000 high.

Walk the typical first. Residential reroof is $75.00 flat.

The official line Re-roof residential is $75.00 with note Included. That $75.00 is already inside the $75.00 total and is not added on top.

Low and high match that same $75.00 total because the path is flat, so the low fee is $75.00 and the high fee is $75.00. The $75.00 high is the same total as the $75.00 typical and is not added on top of it.

Documented 1,000 / 1,500 / 1,800 sf of roof surface does not change this flat $75.00. A roof of 1,000 sf, a roof of 1,500 sf, and a roof of 1,800 sf each stay on that same flat residential reroof.

Roof area and job valuation are not inputs to this listed permit total. Job valuation does not drive this fee.

The assumed valuations of $8,000 and $12,000 and $22,000 still produce $75.00 on this flat residential reroof path. No Texas state building-permit surcharge is on this path, and this note does not add one.

The alteration per-square-foot line on the same schedule is for other project types, not this residential reroof. This note does not invent plan-review add-ons.

This note does not invent technology fees. This note does not invent a fee beyond the official $75.00 total.

The Included. note on Re-roof residential means that line is the official total, so this note does not add it a second time. A like-for-like residential reroof in the City of Plano stays on this flat residential reroof.

Changing the roof from the small documented size to the large documented size does not open a different fee. Changing the job from the low assumed valuation to the high assumed valuation does not open a different fee either.

City of Plano, not Dallas or Frisco. Flat residential reroof $75. No Texas state building-permit surcharge.
