What Is a Site Plan?

Before your city approves any permit, they need to see exactly where your project sits on your lot.

A site plan is a scaled, dimensioned drawing showing your property boundaries, existing structures, setback lines, and the proposed addition — fence, deck, pool, shed, ADU, or commercial building. Most permit offices across the United States require one before issuing a building or zoning permit.

Traditionally you'd hire a licensed surveyor and wait 1–3 weeks at $1,000+. City Permit Plans drafts the same plan from official county GIS records in 24–48 hours, starting at $129.

No site visit required. We use the same official GIS records your permit office references.

Formatted to your jurisdiction. Every plan matches your local permit office's checklist.

Free revisions included. If your permit office requests changes, we update the plan at no extra charge.

Customer Reviews

Permit approved. Customers happy.

"Needed a site plan for a deck permit and didn't have a survey on hand. They pulled everything from the county records and had a permit-ready PDF back to us the next day."

Michael R.

Homeowner · Austin, TX

"As a contractor I use City Permit Plans for all my deck and pool jobs. The turnaround is unbeatable — my clients are always impressed when I can deliver the site plan the same week."

James T.

General Contractor · Phoenix, AZ

"I was skeptical they could draft an accurate plan without visiting the property. But it matched our lot exactly and was accepted by our county on the first review. Saved $900 vs. a surveyor."

Common Questions

Frequently asked questions.

Everything homeowners and contractors ask before their first order.

A site plan is a scaled, bird's-eye drawing of your property showing lot boundaries, existing structures, and where your proposed project will be built. Most permit offices require one before issuing a building or zoning permit for fences, decks, pools, sheds, ADUs, and commercial construction.

Yes — most orders don't come with an existing survey. We pull boundary and parcel data directly from your county's public GIS system, the same official records your permit office uses.

Our flat-rate plans start at $129 for fence and shed permits, $179 for deck and pool permits, and $249 for ADU plans. Commercial projects are custom-quoted. Compare that to a licensed surveyor at $1,000–$3,000+ with a 1–3 week turnaround.

For most residential permits — fences, decks, pools, sheds — a non-certified drafting plan is accepted. A licensed surveyor is only required when your permit office specifically demands a stamped or sealed document. We'll let you know before you order if your jurisdiction has that requirement.

Very accurate for standard lots. We reference county GIS, official parcel records, and satellite imagery — the same data your permit office uses. The main exception is highly irregular lots or unresolved boundary disputes, where an in-person survey is recommended.

Revisions are free. If your permit office requests any changes, send us their comments and we'll update the plan within 24 hours at no extra charge.

Technically yes, but many homeowners find hand-drawn or rough plans get rejected because they lack proper scale, setback dimensions, or the required title block. Our plans are formatted to your jurisdiction's specific requirements, reducing the chance of rejection.
