Does my deck permit require a site plan?
Most building departments require a site plan when applying for a deck permit. The plan shows where the deck will be located on your property, its dimensions, and its distance from property lines. Requirements vary by jurisdiction so check with your local building department to confirm what they need before applying. For a full breakdown of when decks require permits and the rules in your state, see our deck permit guide.
Is the proposed deck drawn on the plan?
Yes. Every plan we prepare includes your proposed deck drawn and dimensioned in its correct position on the lot. This is what building departments need to verify that your deck meets local setback requirements. You provide the dimensions and planned location when you submit your order details and we draw it onto the plan.
Will my building department accept this plan?
Our plans are prepared to meet standard building department requirements and include all elements that most jurisdictions ask for. Requirements vary by city and county. Some building departments require plans to be stamped by a licensed Professional Engineer or Registered Architect. We recommend confirming your local requirements before ordering.
What information do you need to prepare my plan?
After selecting your tier you will complete a short form with your property address, your proposed deck dimensions and shape, and where on the lot you plan to build it. If you have an existing survey you can upload it to improve accuracy. We handle everything else using GIS data and satellite imagery.
Which tier should I choose?
Basic covers what most building departments need for a straightforward deck permit application. Standard adds more existing property detail including trees, sidewalks, accessory structures, and impervious surface calculations, which some jurisdictions require. Premium adds setback dimensions and distances labeled directly on the plan, topographic contour lines, and a DWG file, which is useful for complex permits or strict jurisdictions.
How do revisions work?
Once we send your draft plan you can review it and request changes. We will update the plan at no additional charge within your revision allowance. Premium orders include unlimited revisions. If your building department requests specific changes after submission, contact us and we will update the plan.
Can I use this plan for an HOA submission?
Yes. Our site plans are suitable for HOA submissions as well as permit applications. If your HOA has specific formatting requirements, note them in the additional information field when you submit your order details and we will do our best to accommodate them.
