Site Plans For Garage Permits

Q: What if I’m replacing an old garage—do I still need a site plan?

Usually, yes. Even if you&#39;re demolishing and rebuilding in the same spot, the city often wants an updated plan showing setbacks, property lines, and the structure layout. It’s always best to double-check with your local building office.

Q: What if the building department doesn’t accept the plan?

We offer a money-back guarantee that your plan will be accepted—or you get your money back. If they need changes, we’ll revise it at no extra charge.

Q: Do I need to hire a surveyor?

That&#39;s for your building department to decide. We ask that you confirm this first prior to ordering. Our service is for planning purposes only and is not a legal survey. Most cities accept what we provide for permit applications. If they require a stamped survey, you’ll need to contact a licensed surveyor.

FAQs

What is a garage permit site plan?

A garage permit site plan is a scaled drawing that shows your entire property, including your house, driveway, and the new or existing garage. It’s usually required by your local building department to make sure your garage meets zoning codes, setbacks, and other regulations.

Do I need a site plan to get a permit for a garage?

Yes, in most cases, a site plan is required when applying for a garage building permit—whether it’s a new build, an addition, or even converting an old structure. The city wants to see exactly where it will go and how it fits on your lot.

Can you create a site plan for a detached or attached garage?

Yes, we can create site plans for both detached and attached garages. Just let us know the size and placement, and we’ll draft a plan that fits your specific project.

What if I’m replacing an old garage—do I still need a site plan?

Usually, yes. Even if you're demolishing and rebuilding in the same spot, the city often wants an updated plan showing setbacks, property lines, and the structure layout. It’s always best to double-check with your local building office.

How accurate are your site plans?

Our plans are non-certified and for planning purposes only. We use satellite imagery and the details you provide. It’s up to you to confirm measurements, but they’re typically more than enough to get your permit approved.

How fast can I get my garage site plan?

We offer a 24-hour turnaround on most orders. If your local requirements are a bit more complex, we’ll let you know what’s needed and keep it moving fast.

What do I need to send you to get started?

You’ll just need to provide us with your property address, basic measurements of your garage and any structures, and any specific details required by your city. If you have sketches or previous plans, that helps too.

What if the building department doesn’t accept the plan?

We offer a money-back guarantee that your plan will be accepted—or you get your money back. If they need changes, we’ll revise it at no extra charge.

Do I need to hire a surveyor?

That's for your building department to decide. We ask that you confirm this first prior to ordering. Our service is for planning purposes only and is not a legal survey. Most cities accept what we provide for permit applications. If they require a stamped survey, you’ll need to contact a licensed surveyor.

Can I use this plan for an ADU with a garage?

Yes! If your garage is part of a larger ADU (Accessory Dwelling Unit) project, just let us know. We can include that in the same site plan.
