Getting Started
How do I get a permit for a site plan in the US?

To get a permit for a site plan:

  1. Contact your local building department for specific requirements
  2. Prepare a scaled site plan showing boundaries, structures, and setbacks
  3. Submit with your permit application and fees
  4. Wait for review — typically 3–14 days for simple residential projects

Can I create my own site plan?

Yes, for simple projects like fences or small sheds. However, most cities require:

  • Scaled drawings (e.g., 1" = 20')
  • Accurate property boundaries
  • Setback measurements from property lines
  • North arrow and scale indicator

If your plan is missing these elements, it will likely be rejected. Professional drafting ensures first-time approval and saves you weeks of back-and-forth.

How do I order a site plan?

The process is simple:

  1. Submit your property address and project details via our quote form
  2. Our drafting team creates your scaled plan using GIS, satellite imagery, and parcel data
  3. You review and request any revisions — all included at no extra cost
  4. We deliver your permit-ready PDF drawing, usually within 24 hours

You don't need to provide anything complex — even a rough sketch or phone photo works.

What information do I need to provide?

At minimum, all we need is your property address. From there we can pull parcel data, satellite imagery, and GIS records.

If you have any of the following, send them along — it helps us work faster:

  • Measurements or survey documents
  • Rough sketches or hand-drawn layouts
  • Photos of the property
  • Any city requirements you've already received

Requirements
What projects require a site plan?

Usually required:

  • New home construction
  • Additions, garages, and sheds
  • Decks, pools, and patios
  • Accessory dwelling units (ADUs)
  • Commercial projects
  • Land subdivisions

Usually NOT required: Interior remodeling, painting, appliance replacement, minor repairs.

Always verify with your local building department, as requirements vary by city and county.

What must be included on a site plan?

Most municipalities require:

  • Property boundaries and lot dimensions
  • Existing and proposed structures
  • Setback distances from all property lines
  • Driveways and access points
  • Utility locations and easements
  • Drawing scale and north arrow
  • Parcel ID number and property address

We include all of these automatically in every plan we draft.

Do I need a licensed surveyor?

For most residential permits: No — a professionally drafted plan is sufficient and accepted by the vast majority of building departments.

A licensed survey may be required for:

  • New construction on vacant land
  • Lot splits or parcel subdivisions
  • Projects near or on property boundary lines
  • Boundary disputes

If we believe your project needs a survey, we'll let you know upfront before you pay.

Do your plans work in my city or state?

Yes. We serve clients across all 50 states and adapt every plan to your specific jurisdiction's requirements.

We've worked in high-regulation areas like California and New York as well as smaller municipalities in Texas, Arizona, and Florida. Every plan is researched and formatted for the building department it's being submitted to.

  • Unlimited free revisions — no extra charges
  • Updates typically turned around within 24 hours
  • 100% money-back guarantee if we can't get it approved

We maintain a 98% first-time approval rate because we research local requirements before we start drafting — not after.

We typically respond within a few hours.

Why did my previous plan get rejected?

The most common reasons permit offices reject site plans:

  • Missing property boundaries or lot dimensions
  • No setback measurements shown
  • Structures not drawn to scale
  • Missing north arrow or drawing scale indicator
  • Proposed structures not clearly labeled
  • Utility easements not shown
  • Zoning violations in the layout

If your plan was rejected, send us the correction comments and we'll fix it — or create a new plan built specifically to pass your city's review.
