Workflow
Workflow
- Register the BPAT with the City and confirm calibration is current.
- Use the correct City test report form for the assembly.
- Submit the signed original through Public Works recordkeeping.
Residential
- Residential owners most often meet McKinney through irrigation permitting and inspection, not through a public approved-tester list.
- If the assembly touches a permitted irrigation job, the CSS portal matters before the test report does.
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.
