Site Plans & Permit Drawings for Apex Projects.
Apex site plans and permit drawing support for additions, screen porches, garages, decks and new houses. Coordinate the Town's electronic IDT plan review and property-specific plot-plan requirements.

Drawing scope ↗Show the proposed work. Keep boundaries accurate.
The Apex checklist is more detailed than a generic site sketch. Prepare the entire parcel layout and mark existing and proposed structures, driveway surfaces, relevant equipment and any recorded buffers or easements from reliable source information.
If your property uses well and septic, supply any existing septic documents and ask the reviewing agency what additional approvals are needed. Construction framing or foundation design is included only where that specific work is commissioned.
- Use available survey or plat dimensions and show the proposed footprint.
- Record easements and property setbacks from reliable sources.
- Separate draftable site graphics from legally certified boundaries.
Four questions to answer before we draw.
An Apex application needs the correct project checklist, a scaled plot plan and appropriate building drawings. Identify any environmental or septic review before finalizing the plan package.
Does the application use IDT Plans?
The Town identifies IDT for new homes, additions, accessories, commercial projects and other plan reviews.
Does the plot plan show the whole property?
The Town's checklist calls for entire-lot context including structures, paving, equipment, easements and buffers.
Have impervious areas been calculated?
Apex's addition/accessory checklist requests impervious square footage, not merely a new footprint dimension.
Is the lot on a private well or septic?
Check for applicable Wake County environmental review before assuming building-plan approval covers the entire property.
Prepare the relevant records. Apex street address and parcel survey or recorded plat · Existing and proposed footprints, paved surfaces and impervious area · Well, septic or drainage information if applicable. Survey and licensed professional services are separate when required.

These answers refer to published Apex guidance and the project types discussed on this page. Confirm current requirements for your individual parcel with the relevant authority.
Ask about your Apex project ↗Does Apex require a plot plan for an addition?
Its published addition and accessory-structure checklist includes a plot plan showing the whole lot and distances from structures to property lines.
Can an Apex permit be filed electronically?
The Town currently describes the IDT Plans portal for electronic plan review of several residential and commercial application types.
Should I count a new patio in impervious area?
Apex's checklist requests impervious surface figures. Which surfaces count and which limits apply should be verified against the property and Town review criteria.
What if my Apex property has septic?
The applicable checklist discusses Wake County approval for properties using well or septic. Provide the existing wastewater permit or obtain clarification from the reviewing office.
Is a drafted site plan the same as a boundary survey in Apex?
No. For a Apex project, use Apex street address and parcel survey or recorded plat as a starting point, then confirm boundary evidence and setbacks. We prepare drawings but do not establish or certify boundaries; a North Carolina licensed surveyor must do that.
Who decides if my Apex permit plans are acceptable?
Review the Apex: Building Inspections and Permitting instructions for this Apex project. Approval remains with the applicable regulator, and any professional seals or licensed design are separate unless specifically arranged.
