Frequently Asked Questions

In most Florida counties and cities, yes. Building departments in Marion, Citrus, Levy, Alachua and most other counties ask for a site plan (also called a plot plan) for new homes, additions, pools, sheds, carports, fences and other accessory structures so they can check setbacks, lot coverage and flood zone requirements. Requirements vary by jurisdiction, so we always draft to your county or city checklist.

Yes. Florida Statute 481.229 allows plans for one-family and two-family residences, townhouses and attached domestic outbuildings to be prepared by someone who is not a licensed architect. Some structural elements, such as wind-load engineering, trusses or certain foundations, may still need to be signed and sealed by a Florida-licensed engineer depending on your building department.

No. Our site plans are drafted from your survey, the county property appraiser and GIS maps, and the information you give us. They are not a boundary survey and are not signed by a licensed surveyor. If your project requires a certified survey, you will need a licensed Florida land surveyor. If you already have a survey, send it to us and we'll draw your project right on it.

Basic site plans are usually delivered in 1–2 business days and standard site plans in 2–3 business days. Addition and garage plans usually take 5–10 business days, and custom homes usually take 2–4 weeks. Rush service is available on most projects.

Our site plans start at $99 for simple projects like fences and sheds, $179 for pools, carports and additions, and $299 for new homes and manufactured homes. Large acreage and commercial sites are quoted individually. See our pricing page for all packages.

Send the property address or parcel number, a photo or sketch of what you want to build with rough dimensions, and your survey if you have one. Everything is handled by email, so there's no site visit and no appointment needed.
