Get Your Patio Cover Permit Site Plan in San Antonio – Order Online, 24‑Hour Delivery
Ready to Get Your Patio Cover Permit?
San Antonio requires a building permit and a site plan for any patio cover attached to your house. The city’s Development Services Department (DSD) rejects incomplete applications. Missing property lines, wrong setbacks, no easement reference – that’s all it takes to land at the back of a 4‑week queue.
We fix that before you submit. Property lines, setbacks, easements, flood zone notes – we include everything DSD reviewers look for. Upload your address. We’ll deliver a PDF ready to attach to your permit application.
What’s Included in Your Patio Cover Site Plan
We don’t draw sketches. We build permit‑ready plans that answer the reviewer’s questions before they ask. Every San Antonio patio cover plan includes:
Verified property lines – From recorded plats, not rounded GIS guesses
Setback dimensions – Measured from the furthest projection (eaves, support posts)
Existing house footprint – So the reviewer sees the attachment point
Proposed patio cover – With size, post locations, and roof overhang
Utility easements – Shown with recorded book/page numbers
Flood zone reference – FEMA panel number and zone (even Zone X)
North arrow and engineer’s scale – So the reviewer can measure instantly
Clear “existing vs. proposed” – Different line types for quick scanning
24‑hour turnaround for most San Antonio residential plans. Free revisions if the city asks for changes.
Why You Need a Site Plan (And Why DIY Sketches Get Rejected)
San Antonio DSD requires a scaled site plan for any attached patio cover permit. A hand‑drawn sketch or a Google Earth screenshot will be rejected. Here’s what the reviewer actually checks:
| What They Look For | Why DIY Plans Fail |
|---|---|
| Property lines with dimensions | Missing or guessed |
| Setbacks (min 5′ side/rear) | Measured from foundation, not eave |
| Utility easements | Not shown or no book/page reference |
| Flood zone note | Omitted entirely |
| North arrow & scale | Nonexistent |
| Clear existing vs. proposed | Everything blends together |
Each missing item triggers a correction. Each correction adds 2‑6 weeks to your project.
Our plans include everything. You submit once.
