What Is a Site Plan
for a Permit?
A site plan for a permit is a scaled, top-view drawing of your property. The building department uses it to confirm your project complies with local zoning rules — setbacks and lot coverage. Without it, there's nothing to review.
- Property boundaries and lot dimensions
- All existing structures — house, garage, shed, pool, driveway
- Your proposed project — exact location and dimensions
- All four setback distances — front, rear, left, right
- Project-specific elements required by your building department
What Every Permit Site Plan Must Include
Required by every US building department without exception. Missing even one element causes a rejection and delays your permit.

All lot lines measured in feet with dimensions labeled
Parcel ID / APN
County property identifier — must match records exactly
Address + Legal Description
From county appraiser records, adjacent street names
North Arrow + Scale
Written scale AND graphic scale bar — both required
All Existing Structures
Every structure on the lot, dimensioned — GIS cross-checked
Proposed Project
Labeled "PROPOSED," dimensioned, all four setbacks shown
Title Block

Impervious Surface Calc
Required for pools, decks, driveways, and most additions

5 Reasons Plans Get Rejected
And exactly how we prevent each one on every single plan we prepare.
Missing Setback Dimensions
The distance to each property line must be explicitly labeled. Missing even one triggers a correction. We label all four on every plan.
Not Drawn to Scale
"Not to scale" plans are auto-rejected. We draw every plan to the correct scale with both written and graphic scale bars.
Existing Structures Missing
Reviewers cross-check against satellite imagery. Every structure must appear. We use GIS data to verify before drafting.
No Impervious Surface Calc
Required for pools, decks, driveways, and additions. We calculate and clearly show the math on every applicable plan.
Wrong Portal Format
LADBS, San Diego DSD, Orange County FastTrack, Miami-Dade ePlan — each has specific requirements. We know them all.
