Do I need a permit to remodel a bathroom in Royse City?
Usually, yes. The city ties a remodel permit to any change in the layout, and its own examples include pulling out or replacing a tub or shower. New circuits and new plumbing each go on a separate trade permit, pulled by a state-licensed trade the city has registered, and the plan set has to mark where the smoke and carbon monoxide alarms go.
What triggers a permit in a Royse City bathroom
Royse City does not have a bathroom permit by name. A bath job lands on the remodel permit, the plumbing permit, the electrical permit, or some mix of the three.
- The city's answer to when a remodel permit is needed: when you alter the layout of the home. Its list of examples names removing or replacing tubs and showers, so a tub-to-shower conversion is permit work even when no wall moves. City of Royse City, Frequently Asked Questions, When do I need a remodel permit?
- Adding a circuit or changing out a breaker panel takes an electrical permit. Swapping an existing light fixture, outlet or switch for a new one does not. City of Royse City, Frequently Asked Questions, When do I need an electrical permit?
- A residential plumbing permit is a flat $100. The plumbing contractor has to be registered with the city and named on the application, and nothing starts until the permit is issued. City of Royse City Plumbing Permit Information Guide
- A residential electrical permit is $100. Royse City inspects electrical work to the 2017 National Electrical Code with the regional amendments. City of Royse City Electrical Permit Information Guide
- The house itself is held to the 2018 International Residential Code, and the pipes to the 2018 International Plumbing Code and Fuel Gas Code, each with regional amendments. City of Royse City Plumbing Permit Information Guide

What goes in the plan set
Everything uploads to MyGov under the city's Building Remodel Permit (R) template. The remodel guide is specific about what the drawings show.
- Floor plans of the room before and after, with real measurements, what each room is used for, and every window and door. City of Royse City Residential Remodel/Addition Permit Information Guide, Plan review item 4
- Plumbing, mechanical and electrical designs that show what changes in the existing systems, where the exhaust fan goes, how the fixtures and supply lines are sized, and where the outlets sit. City of Royse City Residential Remodel/Addition Permit Information Guide, Plan review item 4
- Smoke alarm locations under section 314 of the 2018 residential code and carbon monoxide alarm locations under section 315 have to be drawn on the plans. Even on a bathroom job, the alarms are part of the review. City of Royse City Residential Remodel/Addition Permit Information Guide, Plan review item 4
- The same guide asks for a site plan with property lines and easements, and a third-party energy code review against the 2015 International Energy Conservation Code. We ask the plans examiner at the start whether an interior-only bath needs both. City of Royse City Residential Remodel/Addition Permit Information Guide, Plan review items 2 and 5

Who is allowed on the job, and how inspections run
- A remodeler registers with Royse City as a general contractor, $50 a year. A homeowner working on their own occupied homestead does not pay the fee. City of Royse City Contractor Registration requirements
- Plumbers register with a copy of their Texas State Board of Plumbing Examiners license, and electricians with their state electrical contractor and master licenses. Their city registration runs out the day the state license does. City of Royse City Contractor Registration requirements
- Every subcontractor on a remodel has to be registered and listed on the application, with an email address for the person responsible for that trade's work. City of Royse City Residential Remodel/Addition Permit Information Guide
- Inspection requests go in through MyGov, by email or by phone, and a request received by 4 PM gets a next-day inspection. A copy of the approved plans, at least 11 by 17 inches, stays on site for the inspector. City of Royse City Plumbing Permit Information Guide

Royse City Questions
What people in Royse City ask us
Do I need a permit to turn my tub into a walk-in shower in Royse City?
Yes. The city's own list of remodel permit examples includes removing or replacing a tub or shower. The new drain and valve also go on a plumbing permit pulled by a licensed, city-registered plumber.
Can I change the vanity light without a permit?
Swapping an existing fixture, outlet or switch does not need one. A new circuit, say for a heated floor or a second vanity, does.
Will the city make me update my smoke alarms?
The remodel plans have to show where the smoke and carbon monoxide alarms are. We mark them on the drawings and flag any that are missing before the city does.
Who pulls the permits?
We do. The remodel permit goes under our general contractor registration, and the plumber and electrician pull their trade permits under their own state licenses.
How do you price a bathroom remodel in Royse City?
We walk the bathroom, then put the price in writing. The shower, the tile, the glass and whether any plumbing moves are what move it. The price does not change unless the scope does.
