McAllen ADU Permit Fees & Cost Calculator
McAllen’s official fee schedule shows a residential building permit minimum fee of $48 plus $0.16 per square foot, and a park development fee of $700 per unit. The available city documents do not clearly isolate a separate ADU-specific fee schedule, so ADUs likely fall under the city’s general residential permit and development fees, but this must be verified with the City of McAllen permitting office.
