Travis County · Texas
Manor site plans and permits.
Manor asks for a permit for any deck or patio that changes the original survey, with no size exemption.
Building code
The city's deck handout cites the 2015 International Residential Code. The handouts look older than the city's current code page, so confirm the edition when you apply.
Deck permit
A permit is required for decks and patios that alter the original survey. The city states no size or height exemption.
Sheds
Sheds and storage buildings over 64 sq ft need a permit.
Owner-drawn plans
The city's pages don't say who may draw deck plans.
Setbacks
Covered patios and decks can't extend past the platted building line. Concrete patios aren't allowed in utility or drainage easements, and sheds must stay out of setbacks.
Where to apply
What Manor asks the site plan to show.
- Plot plan or survey
- Property lines
- Existing house, structures and fences
- Setbacks, easements and rights-of-way
- Where the new construction goes
Your DrawPermit site plan draws the lot lines, north arrow, scale, structures, setbacks, distances to each line and impervious cover. Add utility lines, meters and trees by hand if your city asks for them.
