McKinney has a historic downtown with late-1800s and early-1900s homes, established 1990s–2000s communities like Stonebridge Ranch, and brand-new neighborhoods to the north and west.
Permits and historic review
McKinney's Building Inspections division handles permits. Exterior changes in the historic district can require review. Stonebridge Ranch and Craig Ranch have active HOAs with design guidelines.
