Built for homeowners, contractors, and developers alike.
Whether you're pulling your first permit or managing a pipeline of active jobs, the process works the same way.
Homeowners
You're adding a fence, building a deck, or putting in a pool. You don't do this every day, so you need a plan that gets approved first time — not a rejection that delays your project by weeks. We make the permit paperwork the easy part.
Contractors & Builders
You have multiple active job sites and can't afford permit delays. We turn site plan orders around in 24–48 hours so you can keep your crews moving. Many contractors use us for every deck, pool, and fence job they pull a permit on.
Architects & Developers
You need a fast, accurate drafting resource for preliminary site plans and permit applications. Our GIS-sourced plans work across all 50 states, handle complex parcels, and can be scoped to match your project's specific review requirements.
Every plan is built from the same data your permit office uses.
Most site plan rejections come down to one of three things: wrong scale, missing setback dimensions, or boundaries that don't match county records. We pull your lot boundary directly from the county GIS parcel system — the same authoritative source your permit office references when it reviews your application. That means our dimensions match, our setbacks are calculated against your actual property lines, and the plan format matches what your local office expects.
Official GIS parcel data. We reference county-level boundary and zoning records, not satellite imagery estimates.
Jurisdiction-formatted. Every plan includes the scale, north arrow, title block, and setback callout style your specific permit office expects.
Free revisions, no exceptions. If the reviewer requests any changes, we update the plan the same day at no extra charge.
From address to permit-ready plan in four steps.
No phone calls, no appointments. Submit online and get your plan by email.

Permit approved. Customers happy.
"We needed a fence permit site plan and didn't have a survey on file. They pulled everything from county records and had a permit-ready PDF back to us the next morning. Permit approved first submission."
"I use City Permit Plans for all my deck and pool jobs now. The 24-hour turnaround means I can keep crews moving and impress clients with how fast the permit process moves when I'm managing it."
"Saved nearly $900 versus what a local surveyor quoted me for a pool permit site plan. The GIS-based plan was accepted by our county reviewer on first submission. Could not have been easier."
