$24 standard · $9 with TEXAS
The current offer takes $15 off. EasySitePlan makes a preliminary permit plan, not a certified survey. A refund applies only when a rejection is caused by something the eligibility check should have caught.
Preliminary guidance only. Verify the current package for your address before filing.
Sheds up to 300 square feet can be exempt
The size exemption does not waive zoning setbacks, easements, floodplain rules, utility restrictions, or deed restrictions.
The local drawing requirement
The site plan should match the recorded plat
San Antonio asks for the legal description, address, property lines, existing buildings, easements, sidewalks, approaches, curbs, fences, gates, concrete work, and setbacks.
Before you file
- Pull the recorded plat and trace its easements accurately.
- Show property lines, existing buildings, and required setbacks.
- Add sidewalks, approaches, curbs, fences, gates, and concrete work.
- Submit foundation, floor, framing, and elevation plans separately.
Product fit
An applicant-prepared site plan may fit
EasySitePlan can build and correct a preliminary property sheet for supported addresses. You must match it to the recorded plat and supply construction drawings.
The boundary
EasySitePlan does not certify boundaries, replace a required survey, provide engineering, submit the permit, or guarantee approval.
