Kentucky Site Plans Guaranteed within 24 hours

Q: Do I need a site plan for a permit in Kentucky?

Yes — most Kentucky building projects require a site plan as part of the permit application, and this applies to a wide range of project types. The Kentucky Residential Code explicitly requires permit applications to include a site plan showing the size and location of new construction, existing structures, distances from lot lines, and proposed finished grades. In Louisville, the Office of Construction Review requires site plans for new construction, additions, decks, pools, accessory structures, and demolition permits; in Lexington, the Division of Building Inspection at the Lexington-Fayette Urban County Government has similar requirements. Warren County requires a professionally drawn plot plan for all new residential and commercial applications and for any new construction over 750 square feet on less than 5 acres. Common Kentucky projects that trigger a site plan requirement include room additions, residential decks, sheds, detached garages, carports, in-ground and above-ground pools, fencing (especially pool enclosures), demolition, grading, barndominiums, and manufactured home placement. Our site plans are not a survey, nor are they intended to replace one — but they are drafted to meet the documentation standards Kentucky building departments expect. The Kentucky Department of Housing, Buildings and Construction (DHBC) administers the statewide building code and can confirm requirements for your project type. Ready to get started? Order your Kentucky site plan today and receive your completed drawing in 24 hours.

Q: How quickly can I get a site plan in Kentucky?

Every Kentucky order is delivered in 24 hours, guaranteed — no site visit required and no scheduling needed. Place your order online with your property address and project details, and our Drafterra Certified drafters will produce your plan remotely using GIS lot-line data and satellite imagery. There is no rush option because 24-hour turnaround is our standard for every single order, whether your property is in Louisville, Lexington, Bowling Green, Owensboro, Paducah, or a rural county. This means you can order today and have a permit-ready site plan in hand tomorrow — keeping your project on schedule and your permit application moving forward.

Q: How much does a site plan cost in Kentucky?

MySitePlan's Kentucky site plans start at $99 — a flat rate with no hidden fees, no surveyor costs, and no hourly billing. Our five plan tiers let you choose exactly what your project requires: the Basic Plot Plan ($99) covers property lines, primary structure roofline, lot dimensions, north arrow, and scale; the Medium Site Plan ($119, our most popular option) adds measurements between features, trees, driveway, accessory structures, and swimming pool — making it the right choice for most Kentucky building permits, demolition permits, and HOA submissions; the Detailed Site Plan ($159) adds paths, shrubs, lawn, landscaping, and septic and utility locations; the Commercial Detailed ($179) includes parking, ingress/egress, dumpster areas, and parking spaces; and Commercial "The Works" ($279) adds legal setbacks, a custom size, a DWG file, topography, impervious surface calculations, and a vicinity map. Compare that to the cost of hiring a licensed surveyor, and MySitePlan delivers significant savings while still producing professionally drafted, permit-ready documentation. If you're unsure which tier fits your project, the Medium Site Plan at $119 covers the elements most Kentucky building departments and HOAs ask for.

Q: What types of site plans are available for Kentucky projects?

MySitePlan offers five plan tiers to match the scope of your Kentucky project. The Basic Plot Plan ($99) shows property lines, your primary structure roofline, lot dimensions, a north arrow, and scale — great for early project planning. The Medium Site Plan ($119) is our most popular option and the right pick for the majority of Kentucky building, fencing, deck, pool, and HOA permit submissions, as it adds measurements between features, trees, the driveway, accessory structures, and a swimming pool if present. The Detailed Site Plan ($159) is the highest level of residential detail, adding paths, shrubs, lawn areas, landscaping, and septic and utility locations — useful for projects in Louisville's flood-sensitive areas or for stormwater documentation. The Commercial Detailed ($179) covers parking layout, ingress/egress points, dumpster areas, and parking space counts for commercial properties in Bowling Green, Covington, Owensboro, and beyond. Commercial "The Works" ($279) provides legal setbacks, a custom sheet size, a DWG file, topography, impervious surface calculations, and a vicinity map — ideal for developers and commercial contractors navigating Kentucky's more complex zoning and land-use review processes. Order the tier that fits your project, and we'll have it ready within 24 hours.

Q: Are MySitePlan.com drawings accepted by local authorities in Kentucky?

Yes — MySitePlan has delivered more than 80,000 site plans nationwide, and our drawings are routinely accepted by Kentucky building departments and HOAs across the state. Departments like Louisville-Jefferson County Metro Government's Office of Construction Review, Lexington-Fayette Urban County Government's Division of Building Inspection, and local permit offices in Bowling Green, Owensboro, Paducah, Henderson, Covington, and Frankfort regularly process applications supported by professionally drafted site plans like ours. Our plans include the elements Kentucky building officials look for: property lines, structure locations, setbacks, dimensions, north arrow, and scale. If a building department requests a revision or additional detail after you submit, we provide free revisions to help get your plan over the finish line. We recommend confirming your specific department's requirements before submitting, and our team is available to help if questions come up during that process.

Q: Is a MySitePlan site plan the same as a land survey?

No — a MySitePlan site plan is not a licensed land survey, and the two serve different purposes. Our site plans are not a survey, nor are they intended to replace one. MySitePlan's drawings are professionally drafted using GIS lot-line data and satellite imagery, and they are designed to meet the site plan documentation requirements commonly associated with Kentucky building permits, fencing permits, deck permits, demolition permits, and HOA submissions. A licensed boundary survey, by contrast, involves a credentialed surveyor physically measuring your property in the field and is required for legal property disputes, title work, mortgage lending, and certain subdivision applications. If you need a licensed survey, we recommend consulting a licensed Kentucky land surveyor. For permit-ready site plan documentation, MySitePlan delivers a professional, affordable drawing in 24 hours — without a site visit or surveyor fees.

Q: What information do I need to provide for my Kentucky site plan?

All we need to get started is your property address, your project details, and any existing plat or survey documents you have on hand. Our Drafterra Certified drafters use GIS lot-line data and satellite imagery to locate your property remotely and draft your plan — no site visit is required and no scheduling is needed. If you have photos of the property, sketches of planned improvements, or a prior survey, including those helps our drafters produce the most accurate drawing possible. For Kentucky projects in FEMA flood zones along the Ohio River, Kentucky River, or their tributaries, noting that context upfront is helpful, as your building department may require additional documentation alongside the site plan. Once you submit your order, your plan is typically delivered within 24 hours — ready for your Louisville, Lexington, Bowling Green, or county-level permit application.

Q: Why should I trust MySitePlan with my Kentucky project?

MySitePlan is a veteran-owned company with more than 10 years in business, over 80,000 site plans delivered nationwide, and more than 8,000 verified five-star reviews from homeowners, contractors, property managers, and developers. Every plan is produced by a Drafterra Certified drafter — meaning your drawing meets high standards of technical proficiency and is produced by someone who understands what permit-ready documentation looks like. We offer a 24-hour guaranteed turnaround on every order, flat-rate pricing with no hidden fees, and free revisions if a building department requests changes. Whether you're pulling a deck permit in Bowling Green, submitting to an HOA in Lexington, or applying for an accessory structure permit in Henderson or Frankfort, MySitePlan gives you a professional drawing at a fraction of the cost and time of traditional alternatives. Order today and have your site plan in hand tomorrow.

Q: Do I need a site plan for HOA approval in Kentucky?

Yes — many Kentucky HOAs require a site plan as part of their approval process for exterior changes and new structures. Common HOA-triggered projects include decks and patios, fencing, pools, detached garages, sheds, additions, and landscaping changes that affect lot coverage or setbacks. HOA review boards typically want to see a scaled drawing that shows property lines, the footprint of existing structures, the location and dimensions of the proposed improvement, and distances from lot lines — exactly what our Medium Site Plan ($119) is designed to provide. Louisville and Lexington both have established HOA communities where this review step runs parallel to the city permit process, and submitting a professional site plan upfront can help avoid delays from the HOA board. If your HOA requests a specific format or additional detail, our free revision policy means we'll update your plan at no extra charge. Order your site plan today and move your HOA submission forward without delay.

Q: My property is in a rural or unincorporated area of Kentucky — do I still need a site plan?

Yes — rural and unincorporated Kentucky properties are still subject to the Kentucky Building Code (KBC) and Kentucky Residential Code (KRC), and permit applications are still required for most construction activity. Kentucky uses a statewide uniform "mini/maxi" building code system, meaning local governments cannot adopt stricter or more lenient standards than the state code — so the same site plan documentation requirements apply whether you're in Louisville or a small county without a local building department. In areas where no local building department exists, permit applications — including site plans — must be submitted directly to the Kentucky Department of Housing, Buildings and Construction (DHBC), whose Division of Building Code Enforcement reviews plans for new construction, additions, alterations, and changes of occupancy statewide. This applies to many rural counties across the state, including those in western and eastern Kentucky. MySitePlan can produce your site plan remotely regardless of your property's location — all we need is your address. Visit dhbc.ky.gov to identify the permitting authority for your county, then order your site plan and have it ready in 24 hours.

Kentucky's Permit Landscape: What You Need to Know

Last reviewed: April 2026

The Kentucky Residential Code explicitly requires that permit applications include a site plan showing the size and location of new construction, existing structures, distances from lot lines, established street grades, and proposed finished grades. Without a compliant site plan, your permit application simply won't move forward.

Kentucky operates under a "mini/maxi" statewide uniform building code system — the Kentucky Building Code (KBC) and Kentucky Residential Code (KRC) — meaning local governments cannot adopt stricter or more lenient building standards. The Kentucky Department of Housing, Buildings and Construction (DHBC) administers these codes statewide and serves as the permitting authority in areas without a local building department.

Permitting processes vary by jurisdiction. In Louisville, permits flow through the Office of Construction Review, with a separate Site Disturbance Permit required from Louisville MSD for any land disturbance over 2,000 square feet. Lexington uses the Division of Building Inspection under the Lexington-Fayette Urban County Government. Smaller cities like Owensboro, Covington, Henderson, and Frankfort route permits through local planning offices or county judge-executive offices.

Common Kentucky Projects That Require a Site Plan

If you're planning any of the following projects in Kentucky, a site plan is likely required as part of your permit application:

New home construction — required statewide under the Kentucky Residential Code
Room additions — must show existing structures, new footprint, and lot-line distances
Residential deck permits — footing depth must meet Kentucky's 24-inch frost depth requirement
Garage and accessory structure permits — sheds, detached garages, and carports require plot plans in Warren County and many other jurisdictions
Fence permits — all fences in Bowling Green require a permit; fences over 7 feet require drawings; pool enclosures have additional requirements statewide
In-ground and above-ground pool permits — site plan must document setbacks and drainage
Demolition permits — Paducah's Fire Prevention Division issues these under the Kentucky Building Code; site plan must show what is demolished and what remains
Site excavation and grading permits — Louisville MSD requires a Site Disturbance Permit for all land disturbance over 2,000 sq ft
Zoning compliance verification — required before any change of occupancy or use
Manufactured and modular home placement — Bowling Green requires plot plans for placements of 750 sq ft or greater
Short-term rental licensing — some Kentucky municipalities require a site plan as part of the application
HOA submissions — document setbacks, structure placement, and lot coverage for your association
Floodplain development permits — properties in FEMA flood zones along the Ohio River, Kentucky River, and their tributaries may require elevation certificates and additional site documentation
Barndominium and pole barn permits — treated as new construction under the KBC; a site plan is required

Kentucky's Unique Permitting Environment

Because Kentucky's statewide code system sets a uniform baseline, the building standards themselves are consistent — but zoning rules, submittal requirements, and review timelines differ significantly by city and county. Louisville and Lexington both maintain historic districts where historic preservation board approval may be required before a permit is issued, adding an extra review step that can catch property owners off guard.

Kentucky's clay-heavy soils in many regions affect foundation design, fence post requirements, and drainage planning — all details that should be reflected in your submitted site plan. Properties near the Ohio or Kentucky Rivers in flood-prone areas face additional FEMA floodplain permitting requirements. If your project involves impervious surface calculations for a Louisville MSD stormwater submission, see our A Guide to Impervious Surface Calculation for a helpful overview.
