Elevators in McKinney multi-family, commercial, and public buildings are regulated by the Texas Department of Licensing and Regulation under Texas Health and Safety Code Chapter 754, requiring annual inspections and state-licensed mechanics.
TDLR administers elevator safety statewide under TX H&S Code Ch. 754 and 16 TAC Ch. 74. Building owners must register elevators, escalators, chair lifts, and platform lifts with TDLR and pay annual fees. A Qualified Elevator Inspector (QEI) must perform an annual inspection and submit the report to TDLR. Repairs and modernization must be done by a licensed elevator contractor using ASME A17.1 compliant components. Elevators serving only a private single-family home are exempt from state inspection but must meet ASME A17.1/A17.3 at install. McKinney building inspection issues permits for new installs and confirms TDLR registration for Certificate of Occupancy.
Operating without current inspection certificate: up to $5,000 per day per elevator. TDLR may order elevator out-of-service.
