  • If the assembly touches a permitted irrigation job, the CSS portal matters before the test report does.
Commercial focus

Commercial and managed properties

  • Commercial and managed properties should treat McKinney as a document-control city because registration, original signatures, and the right form set all matter.
  • Fireline and general testing use different City registration documents, so scope mistakes are easy to make.
