Lead-based paint in pre-1978 McKinney homes is governed by federal EPA RRP rules and HUD disclosure requirements; McKinney does not impose additional local lead abatement obligations beyond federal law.
The federal Residential Lead-Based Paint Hazard Reduction Act (42 USC §4852d) requires sellers and landlords of pre-1978 housing to disclose known lead hazards and provide the EPA Protect Your Family pamphlet. Renovation, repair, or painting work in pre-1978 homes that disturbs more than 6 square feet interior or 20 square feet exterior must be performed by EPA RRP-certified contractors using lead-safe work practices. Texas does not have a state lead program that adds requirements beyond federal. Child lead screening is handled by Collin County Health Care Services. McKinney building permits for renovation work flag RRP applicability in the application.
EPA RRP violations up to $37,500 per day per violation. HUD disclosure violations trigger treble damages to the buyer/tenant plus attorney's fees.
