Texas Permit Drawings Built Around Your Jurisdiction.
Texas permit requirements vary by city, county, ETJ and project type. We confirm the reviewing jurisdiction and likely drawing scope before drafting, then coordinate the site, architectural, structural and MEP sheets that apply to your project.
Every Texas Jurisdiction Runs on a Different Rulebook. We Know Which One Applies to You.
This is the difference between a template and a site plan that actually gets approved: we draft against the code your specific reviewer is holding, not a generic national format.
From a Same-Day Site Plan to a Full Stamped Drawing Set
FIG. A1 - SITE PLAN
Site Plan Only
The scaled, dimensioned drawing your building department needs to review setbacks and lot coverage.
- Property boundaries and dimensions, labeled in feet
- Existing structures drawn to scale (house, garage, driveway, pool)
- Proposed project labeled "PROPOSED" with exact dimensions
- All four setback distances to each property line
- North arrow, scale bar, parcel ID, and address
- Formatted for your jurisdiction's submittal portal
Full Architectural, Structural & MEP Drawing Set
For ADUs, new construction, additions, remodels, commercial buildings, tenant improvements, and metal building projects needing a complete permit package.
FIG. A2 - FULL SET
NOTE: Additional scope - major design revisions, engineering calculations, energy code reports, or authority-comment responses beyond the original set - is quoted separately.

Chapter 42, Not Zoning
Houston is the only major U.S. city with no citywide zoning ordinance. Development is governed by Chapter 42 of the City Code and reviewed by the Houston Permitting Center - setbacks and lot coverage trace back to that code and, outside the city, to Harris County deed restrictions.

Austin's Development Services Department can require detailed site and development review for non-residential or zoning-related work under Land Development Code Chapter 25‑5, reviewed alongside Austin Energy, Austin Water, Austin Fire, and Watershed Protection. Impervious cover, heritage trees, and Edwards Aquifer rules all apply.

Unincorporated Travis County commercial site plans may require Texas engineering review and sealed civil documents and include grading, a drainage report, an erosion and sedimentation control plan, and - for projects over 1,000 daily vehicle trips - a full Traffic Impact Analysis.

Fort Worth's Development Services reviews site plans for fire lane access, the nearest fire hydrant location, and a full utility/civil site plan showing water and sanitary sewer - not just setbacks.

Unincorporated Bexar County requires a Building Permit Authorization from Public Works before the Fire Marshal's Office will issue the permit. Skip it and your submission stalls regardless of how good the drawing is.

Built Around Texas Permit Review.
If a Building Department Rejects It, We Fix It Free. That's the Whole Policy.
Most delays don't come from a bad drawing - they come from a drawing built against the wrong jurisdiction's rules. Because we identify your exact authority (city, county, or ETJ) before drafting, corrections are rare. When they do happen, they're free, with a 12-hour turnaround.
Texas Requires a Licensed PE on Every Commercial Permit. No Exceptions.
Engineer
Texas has no small-project exemption for commercial PE review - unlike some states. Every commercial site plan needs a Texas-licensed engineer's seal, and commercial projects must meet Texas Accessibility Standards, which extend past federal ADA in several categories.
How It Works
Common Questions Before a Texas Permit Plan
Many Texas permit applications involving new structures, additions, pools, fences or site changes need a site or plot plan. The exact requirement depends on the jurisdiction, property and project scope.
Houston has never adopted a citywide zoning ordinance. Development is instead governed by Chapter 42 of the City Code, reviewed by the Houston Permitting Center, with land use outside city limits controlled by deed restrictions recorded with Harris County.
Austin projects can involve Land Development Code review plus impervious-cover, watershed, tree, utility and zoning requirements depending on the site and proposed work.
Not every residential or commercial project requires a PE seal. Engineering and sealing depend on the project, discipline, jurisdiction and applicable Texas professional requirements.
A site plan shows property conditions, setbacks and proposed work. A full drawing set can add architectural, structural, electrical, plumbing and HVAC sheets when those disciplines are part of the permit scope.
Simple site-plan scopes can often be completed quickly after complete information is received. Full architectural, structural and MEP sets take longer and are scheduled according to scope.
Covered drafting corrections within the original agreed scope can be revised as part of the project. Added design, engineering or jurisdictional requirements are quoted separately when needed.
Yes. We identify whether the property is inside city limits, within an extraterritorial jurisdiction, or unincorporated so the drawing scope can reflect the applicable review context.
