Texas RAS Fee Schedule
Plan review and inspection fees for projects registered with the Texas Department of Licensing and Regulation under the Architectural Barriers program. Fees are based on estimated construction cost per 16 TAC Chapter 68.
About This Fee Schedule
The Texas Architectural Barriers program requires that commercial construction projects with an estimated construction cost of $50,000 or more be registered with TDLR and reviewed by a licensed Registered Accessibility Specialist (see 16 TAC §68.50(a) and §68.20(g)). Projects below $50,000 are not required to register — TAS compliance still applies to the building regardless of the registration threshold. Accessance Consulting is available to provide optional plan review and inspection services for projects below $50,000 upon request.
All fees are established in a written proposal before any work begins. TDLR registration fees are pass-through charges billed at cost.

Additional Services
- Re-inspection — required when follow-up field verification is needed to confirm correction of deficiencies; fee established in the project proposal
- Phased or multi-building projects — projects with unusual scope, phased construction, or multiple buildings on a single registration may require a project-specific proposal
- Expedited review — available on request, subject to current workload; contact us to discuss
Notes on Texas RAS Conflict of Interest
For projects registered with TDLR, Accessibility Consulting and RAS plan review or inspection services must be provided by different specialists per Texas Administrative Rule §68.76(c)(3). Accessance Consulting observes this requirement without exception. See the Services page for a full explanation of the two service tracks.
