What Is a Site Plan?

A site plan is a scaled drawing that shows how a structure or improvement is positioned on a property. It documents the relationship between proposed construction and the property's boundaries, setbacks, easements, existing structures, and other relevant features. Almost every building permit application in Atlanta requires one.

Site Plans FAQ

Do I need a site plan for a building permit in Atlanta?

In most cases, yes. Virtually all building permit applications for new construction, additions, pools, and demolition require a site plan as part of the submittal package. Requirements vary slightly by municipality and project type — we'll confirm exactly what's needed for your situation.

Can I draw my own site plan?

For very minor projects, some jurisdictions accept a hand-drawn sketch. However, for anything involving setbacks, lot coverage calculations, or structural placement, a professionally prepared and sealed site plan gives you the best chance of first-pass approval.

How quickly can you prepare a site plan?

Most residential site plans are completed in 7-10 business days. Commercial projects or those requiring a new field survey may take slightly longer. We'll give you a realistic timeline when you request your quote.

Do you need to visit my property to prepare a site plan?

It depends on whether current survey data exists for your property. If an existing survey is on file and the project is straightforward, we may be able to work from that. If a field visit is needed, we'll coordinate it quickly — typically within 1 to 2 business days.

How much does a site plan cost in Atlanta?

Cost depends on project type and complexity. We provide free, no-obligation quotes — usually within the hour. Call (404) 301-8493 or submit the form and we'll get you a number quickly.
