Restoration in Denton
Denton gives fire damage its own table in the Building and Health Permit Fee Schedule that took effect October 1, 2026 (Ordinance 26-1576). In that Table 4, Addition/Alteration/Fire Damage Permit Fees, a single-family alteration costs $0.32 per square foot (minimum $50), with $112 listed for plan review. Residential demolition is $226, an interior alteration demolition $50, and a commercial demolition, complete or partial, $411. The Residential Permits page lists Denton's amendments to the 2021 International Residential, Building, Plumbing, Mechanical, Fuel Gas and Existing Building Codes and to the 2020 National Electrical Code.
Replacement doors, the Doors page says, have to meet the 2021 energy codes and their amendments. Plans go to the Development Services Center at 401 N Elm Street in person, or online through eTRAKiT. Denton County is among the GLO's designated counties for the 2024 disasters. Alongside repair and rebuilding help, the GLO's Homeowner Reimbursement Program refunds out-of-pocket repairs between $3,000 and $75,000 for a stick-built home. A household picks one program, for its main home, first come, first served.
Housing in Denton dates from 1997 at the Census median. Keep every receipt for repairs you pay for yourself, since the reimbursement program counts only out-of-pocket costs in that $3,000 to $75,000 range.
