Site plan for a shed permit: what’s required and how to get one

Most cities require a permit for sheds larger than 100–200 sq ft. The permit application almost always requires a site plan showing where the shed will be placed on the lot.

Shed Permit Site Plans That Get Approved Quickly

A shed permit site plan shows the proposed shed location, dimensions, setbacks from property
lines and the primary structure, and any easements. MySitePlan creates these drawings for
$99–$119, delivered in 24 hours. Plans are drafted remotely using GIS and satellite imagery — no
site visit required. Unlimited revisions if your building department requests changes.

Shed permit requirements vary significantly by city. Some jurisdictions allow sheds under 120 sq ft
without a permit; others require one for anything over 100 sq ft. Before ordering, check with your
local building or planning department for the exact threshold. If your shed is under the limit but your HOA requires a plan, MySitePlan’s Basic plan ($99) covers most HOA submissions.
