What McKinney does

McKinney is a municipal government entity (City of McKinney, Collin County, Texas) founded in 1848, operating with a workforce of 1,001-5,000 employees and headquartered at 401 E. Virginia St., McKinney, Texas. It delivers the full scope of municipal services to residents, businesses, and visitors within its city limits and extraterritorial jurisdiction, including public safety (Fire and Police), utilities (water, wastewater, stormwater drainage), public works, parks and recreation, library services, planning and development, code enforcement, municipal court, animal services, and aviation services through McKinney National Airport. The city also runs enterprise facilities such as the Apex Centre aquatic and fitness complex and the Senior Recreation Center.

The city's core technology stack is a suite of web-based citizen service portals rather than a unified software product. The Citizen Self Service (CSS) portal and Development Portal (built on the EnerGov platform) support permit applications, plan submissions, inspection scheduling, and fee payments. Supporting systems include the eReview workflow tool for plan review, an online payment platform for alarm permits, ambulance billing, municipal court payments, and water billing, GIS-based interactive maps, and the Notify Me subscription notification system. Public engagement is delivered through the Engage McKinney portal and the Legistar meeting management system, with the city maintaining an active presence on Facebook, Instagram, YouTube, and LinkedIn.

The revenue model is that of a typical U.S. municipality, with property taxes as the primary recurring funding mechanism, supplemented by user-fee enterprise revenue from water, wastewater, and stormwater utilities (including a $5.25/month Surface Drainage Utility System fee), building and alarm permits, municipal court fines, Apex Centre memberships, and intergovernmental grants (notably a $7 million TxDOT grant funding airport upgrades). The customer base spans residents (primary), local business owners, and visitors, with no commercial product pricing in the conventional sense.
