What's the cheapest way to get a site plan for a permit?

Drawing it yourself costs nothing if your city accepts owner-drawn plans. Of the online options here, DrawPermit is the cheapest at $29 per property, then SitePlanCreator from $39 for a single plan, then MySitePlan from $99 for a drafted plan.

How much does a site plan for a permit cost?

From free if you draw it yourself, to $29 to $39 with an online tool, to $99 to $159 from an online drafting service, at the prices these companies listed on November 5, 2026.

Does DrawPermit work outside Texas?

Yes, for any US address, but the lot lines, aerial photo and house outlines load only in Texas. Elsewhere you type the lot dimensions from your plat or survey and place the house yourself.

Do any of these seal the plan?

No. None of the three stamps or seals drawings. If your city asks for a sealed plan, you need a licensed engineer, architect or surveyor.

Which one to pick.

DrawPermit: Your property is in Texas and you want the lowest price. You build the plan free and pay $29 to download it.
SitePlanCreator: You're outside Texas and want your lot lines and an aerial photo loaded for you, or you need a paper size other than 11x17, or a zoning lookup.
MySitePlan: You'd rather not draw anything yourself and a day's wait for the first draft is fine.
A hand drawing: Your city takes owner-drawn plans and the project is simple. It's free, but it has to be to scale and show everything the city lists.
