Highlights

Irrigation uses a separate City portal rather than only the backflow page.
Contractors, permits, inspections, and payments are all handled in CSS.
Backflow testing still has to align with the City's approved forms and submission rules when the assembly is part of the irrigation project.

Workflow

Use the CSS portal for irrigation contractor registration, permits, and inspections.
Coordinate the backflow test with the irrigation project timeline.
Submit the signed City test report once the field work is complete.

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 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.
