Every permit application received on or after that date is reviewed under the new codes (Allen's adopted-codes page lists the 2023 National Electrical Code with them), so a remodel drawn earlier in the year under the old codes may need its plans updated before it is submitted. All permit applications go through Allen's Citizen Self-Service (CSS) portal. Homeowners doing their own work file a Homeowner's Affidavit first. If you hire a contractor, the city's advice is to make sure the contractor has applied for and received the permit before work starts; inspections are required either way. Allen also publishes its amended list of work exempt from permits (IRC section R105.2). For a remodel the list is narrow; the items that matter most in a kitchen or bath are beside this text. Real project, during the work: primary bathroom remodel. - Windows and doors replaced in the same opening, egress kept: no permit - Pulling and resetting a toilet with no pipe or valve changes: no permit - Replacing a concealed drain, waste or vent pipe counts as new work: permit - Sheds up to 120 square feet or 8 feet tall: no permit Sources: [City of Allen, Adopted Building Codes](https://www.cityofallen.org/departments/community_development/building_and_permitting/adopted_building_codes.php); [City of Allen, Residential Services and Residential Work Exempt from Permits](https://www.cityofallen.org/departments/community_development/building_and_permitting/residential_services/index.php).

A third of homes were built in the 2000s, a quarter in the 1990s and a quarter in 2010 or later; only about one in six is older than 1990. Seven in ten are lived in by their owners. That age profile shapes the plan. In a 1990s house the kitchen and baths are usually the oldest rooms, so they lead the list; in a house from the 2010s the question is more often how to add or repurpose space, such as an office, a primary suite or a converted garage. Our [full-home remodeling cost guide](https://ggsremodelingtx.com/blog/full-home-remodeling-cost-dfw/) shows what moves the budget when several rooms change at once.
