McKinney property owners must control rodents, roaches, and other vermin under the Property Maintenance Code. Commercial pesticide applicators must be licensed by the Texas Department of Agriculture and comply with TDA Structural Pest Control Service rules.
Chapter 70 of the McKinney Code of Ordinances adopts the 2021 International Property Maintenance Code, which requires owners to keep structures free of insect and rodent infestation. Licensed applicators operate under Texas Occupations Code Chapter 1951. Mosquito breeding nuisances (standing water over 72 hours) can trigger abatement action. West Nile surveillance is conducted by Collin County Health Services.
Code compliance notices with 10-day cure period. Non-compliance: fines up to 500 dollars per day per Chapter 1 general penalty. City may abate and lien property.
