If you want to know how to make a site plan for your remodeling project, the details are in this video.
Site plans are not as complicated as building plans, but they are generally required when submitting your plans for building permits. All site plans are not created equal, but this video will give you a list of items that should be included.
Check with your local building authority or planning department to be sure you include everything required for your garage plans or your home remodeling project.

Thanks for this! I’ve been trying to call our county to get clarification on all these forms they require for a permit but they don’t answer their phones (due to Covid and working from home). It’s so frustrating! But this video was helpful, thanks!

Thx. I think this may help since my plans have been rejected a few times & I need snow load info. & It looks like I am missing a few other things too

Is there an easy free site plan software out there? Everything I have seen is way over complicated with 3d rendering / floor plans and building plans. I already have pre-approved plans. I just want to draw up the site plan on my computer. I have multiple site plans to do.

Amazing the government has so much control over private property.

So I need an engineering site plan to go along with my septic permit application. You are telling me it doesn't need to be drawn by an Engineer? Because I am having one hell of a hard time getting people to return call and the people who I do talk with only do commercial....

little late but if it helps in Florida no a engineer does not need to draw it if you are a homeowner doing the installation on a residential property not for rental or sale for at least 1yr however a licensed site surveyor must come out and do a soil peculation test and compaction test also it most be before above the water table as well as a inspection of the drainage field before installation during installation encompassing type of fill then final inspection for permit closure good luck hopefully you already had it done

Thank you for the scale understanding. I was trying to figure out how many feet from my back door to my LDA with a site plan scale that read 1’ 30” so it sounds like it’s 30 feet how you explained this . Thank you I hope I’m right. I’m buying my first house
