Allen's City Council approved the 2024 International Code Council building codes on July 28, 2026, effective September 26, 2026. The list includes the 2024 IMC, IECC, IFGC, IPC and IRC, plus the 2023 National Electrical Code. Allen's fee schedule PDF, whose file name carries "June 2025," lists over-the-counter residential permits: a complete HVAC system at $175.00, and a trades permit for electrical, mechanical and plumbing at $75.00. The schedule prints no separate effective date for its building rows, so the file name is the only date to go on.

What heating and cooling work costs near Allen
Nobody's given us a quote for work in Allen yet, so this page can't show a city price. The Texas page lists the estimates with what technicians earn (the Texas mean in May 2025 BLS wage data is $28.43 an hour, which is their pay, not your price) and some city permit fees. How we estimate costs.
Permits for heating and cooling work in Allen
Texas cities issue the permit for replacing a furnace, air conditioner or heat pump, and each city sets its own fee; the ones cited on our Texas page all require one. TDLR licenses the air conditioning and refrigeration contractor, so ask for that license number as well as what your city's permit office needs.
