Before drawing a coastal-area project, confirm the exact property jurisdiction and whether the submission is for city zoning, county building permits or formal site development. Final checklist selection remains with the reviewing authority.
City planning/zoning and New Hanover County building permits are identified as separate responsibilities.
Town guidance ↗Formal site review materials may call for detailed surface-area and stormwater information.
Town guidance ↗Applicable water, floodplain and coastal-resource records can introduce specialty documents.
Town guidance ↗Some properties or larger projects may need further City authorization beyond an ordinary building application.
Town guidance ↗Locate pools, paving, patio areas and affected impervious surfaces on the parcel.
Drawing scope ↗Show the proposed work. Keep boundaries accurate.
Waterways, mapped flood hazards, surface changes and formal development review may affect the required site documentation. We use the actual parcel address to determine which issues may need checking; we do not assign flood zones or coastal restrictions without reliable records.
We can prepare site layouts and coordinate specialty drafting, but survey elevations, engineered stormwater, wetland delineations and coastal permit decisions must be supplied or reviewed by appropriately qualified professionals.
- 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.
Before drawing a coastal-area project, confirm the exact property jurisdiction and whether the submission is for city zoning, county building permits or formal site development.
City zoning or county building application?
Determine which Wilmington and New Hanover review steps apply to your property and work.
Is impervious area changing?
Paving, driveways, pools and roof footprints can affect coverage and stormwater requirements.
Is the property subject to coastal or flood constraints?
Check the parcel's flood, water, drainage or CAMA context rather than assuming all city lots have the same rules.
Is a formal site review required?
The City's published requirements for substantial development can extend beyond simple residential site-placement drawings.
Prepare the relevant records. Address and any boundary or elevation survey · Proposed pool, patio, building or parking dimensions · Known flood information and prior planning reviews. Survey and licensed professional services are separate when required.

City versus county review: City planning/zoning and New Hanover County building permits are identified as separate responsibilities.
Impervious and drainage information: Formal site review materials may call for detailed surface-area and stormwater information. Applicable water, floodplain and coastal-resource records can introduce specialty documents.

These answers refer to published Wilmington guidance and the project types discussed on this page. Confirm current requirements for your individual parcel with the relevant authority.
Ask about your Wilmington project ↗Does Wilmington issue residential building permits itself?
The City states that New Hanover County Permits & Inspections issues building permits inside Wilmington; the City has its own zoning and development review roles.
Will a simple drawing satisfy a formal Wilmington site plan review?
Not necessarily. The City publishes extensive site-plan and engineering requirements for relevant development review applications.
Can you calculate paving or pool coverage?
We can include surface-area calculations based on supplied dimensions and local definitions if they are part of the written scope.
Do you provide a coastal or flood survey?
No. Survey certifications, flood elevation data and regulated coastal or wetland determinations are separate professional services.
Is a drafted site plan the same as a boundary survey in Wilmington?
No. For a Wilmington project, use Address and any boundary or elevation survey 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 Wilmington permit plans are acceptable?
Review the City of Wilmington: Build Structure or Addition instructions for this Wilmington project. Approval remains with the applicable regulator, and any professional seals or licensed design are separate unless specifically arranged.
Ready to plan your Wilmington project?
