Frisco Self Service and plan review permits

Simple replacements can be pulled online as Self Service permits: heating and cooling systems, roofs replaced with the same material, water heaters, doors and windows, and minor electrical and plumbing work. New homes, additions, demolitions, fences and pools go through electronic plan review instead. Inspections and contractor status are on the city's eTRAKiT portal, and the permit desk is 972-292-5301.

Frisco contractor R-Numbers

General, electrical, mechanical (HVAC), plumbing, pool, sign and fence contractors register with Building Inspections before they get permits. Registration issues an R-Number that expires the same day as the contractor's general liability insurance. Irrigation and backflow contractors register with Frisco Public Works at 11300 Research Road.

Electricity. Oncor lists Frisco among the cities it serves. Oncor delivers the power, and in its area you pick a retail electric provider, which you can compare at PowerToChoose.org. Some edge areas may be served by CoServ, a member-owned co-op, which sits outside retail choice unless it opts in. Confirm by address.

Water. The North Texas Municipal Water District supplies Frisco wholesale. As of October 2026, watering is seasonal: once a week on your trash day from September 1 to October 31, no automatic lawn sprinkling from November 1 to March 31 (hand watering and drip are allowed up to 2 hours a day), and up to twice a week from June 1 to August 31. Fines start at $100 for a first residential violation, and the city offers free sprinkler checkups by a licensed irrigator through the myFRISCO app.

Trees and grading. Frisco protects trees through its zoning ordinance. Box elder, silver leaf maple and hackberry are excluded, and grade changes over 3 inches in a protected tree's root zone, or trenching inside its drip line, need city approval.

Floodplain. New structures must sit two feet above the adjacent 100-year floodplain water surface, and no part of a residential lot may lie in the 100-year floodplain. Check any address on FEMA's Flood Map Service Center.

Bulk trash. Up to five bulky items go out once a month on your trash day in your assigned week. Reserve online by noon the business day before; items can't exceed six feet or 50 pounds.

Property tax. The Collin County side is appraised by the Collin Central Appraisal District and the Denton County side through dentoncad.com. A protest is generally due by May 15 or 30 days after your notice arrives, whichever is later.
