McKinney enforces International Property Maintenance Code (IPMC) with local amendments through Code Services. Blighted properties face citations for peeling paint, broken windows, sagging gutters, and structural deterioration.
Exterior surfaces must be maintained in good repair. Broken or missing windows, rotted wood, peeling paint exceeding 25 percent of a surface, and sagging fences trigger compliance notices. Property owners receive 10 to 30 days to correct. Municipal court fines reach 2,000 dollars per day for unabated violations. The city may place liens on properties for abatement costs.
Non-compliance: daily fines up to 2,000 dollars. City abatement with lien on property. Repeat offenders may face criminal complaint in municipal court.
