Frisco enforces federal EPA Lead Renovation, Repair and Painting (RRP) Rule for homes built before 1978. Contractors disturbing more than 6 sq ft interior or 20 sq ft exterior of painted surfaces must be EPA Lead-Safe certified. Most Frisco homes post-date 1978 so few RRP projects occur.
40 CFR Part 745 Subpart E (EPA RRP Rule) requires lead-safe work practices (containment, HEPA cleaning, post-renovation verification) for covered renovations in pre-1978 target housing and child-occupied facilities. Contractor firms must be EPA-certified and individual renovators must complete an 8-hour RRP training. Texas DSHS administers the state plan under agreement with EPA. Property owners doing their own work on their own primary residence are exempt. Frisco Development Services checks RRP compliance during permit review for qualifying renovations; most Frisco housing stock (majority built post-2000) is not affected.
EPA can impose civil penalties up to $46,989 per violation per day (2024 adjusted amount). Texas DSHS coordinates state enforcement.
