Restoration in Allen
On July 28, 2026, Allen's City Council adopted the 2024 ICC building codes, effective September 26, 2026: the IBC, IECC, IFC, IFGC, IMC, IPC, Pool and Spa Code and IRC, plus the 2023 NEC. A fee schedule PDF whose file name carries June 2025 lists over-the-counter residential permits, with no separate effective date printed for the building rows. Demolition is $75.00, trade permits for electrical, mechanical and plumbing work are $75.00 each, a miscellaneous permit is $50.00 and a storm shelter $100.00.
Allen Building and Permitting is in City Hall, 305 Century Parkway, Allen, TX 75013. Its phones are 214.509.4130 and 214.509.4139, and permits@allentx.gov takes written questions. Staff work weekday business hours, the Citizen Self-Service portal runs permits and inspections, and Allen allows construction 7 a.m. to 10 p.m. every day. Only zones A and AE meet Allen's boundary on FEMA's flood layer, which counts touching polygons and no area. Allen's homes date from 2003 at the median, the Census shows.
NFIP flood insurance has two parts, building coverage for the structure and contents coverage for belongings, FloodSmart says, and a homeowners policy doesn't pay for flood. Email permits@allentx.gov to ask whether your repair qualifies as an over-the-counter permit before the contractor starts.
