Site Plan for a Fence Permit — $29, Delivered in Hours
Most US cities and counties require a site plan before issuing a fence permit. Our $29 plan includes the property lines, lot dimensions, building footprint, parcel ID, north arrow, and scale that permit reviewers look for — delivered as an 11×17" PDF within 1–4 hours, with one free revision included.
What Permit Offices Require for a Fence
Fence permit requirements vary by city, but the overwhelming majority of US permit offices ask for the same five elements on a site plan:
- Property lines with measurements, derived from county parcel data.
- Existing structures — house footprint, garage, sheds, anything currently on the lot.
- The proposed fence location, typically marked by hand on the printed PDF.
- A north arrow and scale bar so the reviewer can orient and measure.
- Lot dimensions and parcel ID for cross-referencing with the county's records.
Our plan includes all five out of the box. You print, mark the fence location, and submit.

Built by Contractors Who Submit Permits Every Day
GetSitePlan.ai is built by Ergeon, a licensed contracting company that has completed over 40,000 fence, concrete, and deck projects across 26 states. The same site plans we use internally to submit permits for our own jobs are now available to homeowners and contractors directly.
If your project goes beyond a fence — a new structure, an addition, a lot subdivision — you'll need a stamped survey from a licensed surveyor. For fence permits, our $29 non-certified site plan is what the overwhelming majority of US permit offices accept.
Fence Permit FAQ
Will my permit office accept a non-certified site plan for a fence?
Most US permit offices accept a non-certified site plan (sometimes called a plot plan) for residential fence permits. The plan must show property lines, lot dimensions, the proposed fence location, a north arrow, and the parcel ID. Our plans include all of these. Check with your specific city or county for any local requirements.
Do I need a stamped survey for a fence permit?
Almost never. Stamped surveys are typically required only for additions, new construction, lot subdivisions, or boundary disputes. Residential fence permits in the United States are generally satisfied by a non-certified site plan.
How do I show the proposed fence on the plan?
Print the 11×17" PDF and draw the proposed fence directly on the property line where it will go. Mark the gate location if applicable. Most permit offices accept hand-marked submissions; some accept digital markup as well.
What about fence setbacks?
Fence setback rules vary by jurisdiction. Most cities allow fences directly on the property line in residential side and back yards, with front-yard fences restricted to a lower height or a specific setback from the sidewalk. Verify your local rules with the permit office before construction.
How long does delivery take?
Typically 1 to 4 hours. Each plan is checked for accuracy before delivery.
What if the plan has a mistake?
One free revision is included. Reply to your delivery email with what needs to change and we fix it, typically within 24 hours.
