Site Plans & Permit Drawings for Asheville Projects.
Site plans and construction drawing coordination for Asheville additions, decks, accessory dwellings and sloping residential lots, guided by the City's project-specific residential permitting resources.

Find drawings that fit your Asheville property.
We help determine whether a property layout is enough or whether additional construction and grading documents should be included. The proposed site, reviewer and actual building work determine which sheets belong in the application.

Drawing scope ↗
Show the proposed work. Keep boundaries accurate.
A sloping lot can introduce vertical differences that do not appear on a simple overhead sketch. We request site measurements, and, where needed, topographic survey information, so a proposed deck, addition or foundation can be represented appropriately.
City materials include specialized guidance for steep slopes, trees and floodplain topics. We flag these as potential review subjects rather than implying every Asheville parcel is subject to the same conditions.
- 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.
Property slope, site access and proposed work are useful factors to consider early for an Asheville residential project.
Is the land inside Asheville's permit jurisdiction?
A mailing city does not prove a parcel is regulated by the City's Development Services office.
Does the project change grade or drainage?
Site slopes, retaining areas and runoff routes may need more than an ordinary placement drawing.
Is it an addition, deck, new house or system project?
Asheville organizes application resources by the type of residential construction.
Are there site-specific overlays?
Review any applicable floodplain, steep-slope, historic or tree-related guidance for the actual property.
Prepare the relevant records. Street address and confirmed City versus County authority · Boundary or topographic survey if available · Existing and proposed heights, grades and improvement dimensions. Survey and licensed professional services are separate when required.

Steep-slope conditions: The City publishes related guidance; evaluate whether the subject lot and work are affected.
Flood and stormwater context: Confirm whether the parcel or grading proposal triggers additional environmental or engineering requirements. These are specifically identified as residential project categories in City application resources.

An illustrative site-plan scope for Asheville residential work.
An ordinary placement drawing may be appropriate for one project, while a slope-sensitive project can need survey grades, sections and separate engineering.
Asheville submissions should be scoped against the published review guidance. An ordinary placement drawing may be appropriate for one project, while a slope-sensitive project can need survey grades, sections and separate engineering.

These answers refer to published Asheville guidance and the project types discussed on this page. Confirm current requirements for your individual parcel with the relevant authority.
Ask about your Asheville project ↗Does Asheville have a separate application path for decks?
The City's residential permit resources organize stand-alone structures and decks as a project category with relevant guidance.
Can you prepare a site plan for a sloping property?
Yes, using appropriate measurements and survey data. Engineered grading, retaining wall and drainage details may be needed in a separate scope.
Do all Asheville properties need steep-slope documents?
No. Whether slope-related rules and documents apply depends on the actual zoning, parcel conditions and work; they should be checked rather than assumed.
Where are Asheville permit applications submitted?
The City describes online submission through its Development Portal or in-person assistance via its Permit Application Center.
Is a drafted site plan the same as a boundary survey in Asheville?
No. For a Asheville project, use Street address and confirmed City versus County authority 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 Asheville permit plans are acceptable?
Review the City of Asheville: Apply for a Residential Permit instructions for this Asheville project. Approval remains with the applicable regulator, and any professional seals or licensed design are separate unless specifically arranged.
