Create site plans for permits online
Site plans for permits should be clear, scaled drawings of the lot. A site plan for a building permit normally shows the property boundary, the proposed building footprint, setback distances, access, north arrow and labels that help the building department understand the project location.
Gardmi turns this into a focused browser workflow: enter a cadastral or parcel reference if you have one, open the preset, place the building footprint and export a clean PDF. It is built for owners who need a readable plot plan before talking to a contractor, architect or reviewer.
How it works
- Enter a cadastral or parcel reference if you have one.
- Open the preset and load or draw the property boundary.
- Add the proposed building footprint and key dimensions.
- Check setbacks and add labels that make the plan readable.
- Export a PDF or share the plan link with a contractor.
Use cases
Garage or accessory building
Draft a plot plan before confirming setbacks with the local office.
Contractor handoff
Send a readable plan link so everyone discusses the same footprint.
Recommendations before submitting
- Check whether your local building department requires a licensed survey or engineered drawing.
- Use measured setback distances instead of approximate visual spacing.
- Keep the property boundary, north arrow, footprint and labels visible on the printed sheet.
- Export in a light print theme so the plan stays readable in black and white.

What should a building permit site plan include?
Most reviewers expect the lot boundary, proposed structure, setbacks, labels, north arrow and enough dimensions to understand the location. Requirements vary by city and county.
Is a site plan the same as a survey?
No. A survey is an official measurement document. Gardmi helps create a readable plot plan, but some permits still require a licensed surveyor.
Can I edit the plan after exporting?
Yes. The objects stay editable in Gardmi, so you can move the footprint, update labels and export the PDF again.
Can I use this for a building notice application?
You can use it to prepare the visual site-plan part of the application. Always check the exact form and drawing rules in your local jurisdiction.
