Local Intelligence
What Globe Homeowners Need to Know Before Submitting
Size & Zoning Rules
Accurate floor plans are the foundation of any ADU, garage conversion, or addition permit in Globe — Community Development Department will not accept a permit application without them. Globe's current ADU size cap is 1,000 sq ft — within the typical range for most floor plan configurations.
Globe does not impose an owner-occupancy requirement, so you can rent both the main home and any ADU or conversion as investment units.
Homeowners in Globe who document and legitimize their square footage correctly are positioning a home in a rental market where 1-bedroom units average approximately $961/month.
Permit Process & Fees
Floor plans submitted to Community Development Department as part of a permit application must include a site plan, floor plans, all four elevations, an electrical plan, and energy compliance documentation — plus if structural changes are involved, a licensed engineer must stamp the structural drawings.
Visit Community Development Department ↗Construction Cost Context
Globe's adu / renovation construction costs run $120–$180 per square foot — a moderate range driven by labor markets, local code complexity, and finish level. Our drawings are priced at a fraction of what a full-service architect would charge to produce the same permit set.
⚠ Common Pitfall in Globe
Because Globe sits in old mining terrain with steep lots and rock close to the surface, plenty of parcels need a septic or leach field evaluation from Gila County Environmental Services before Community Development will even log your ADU application — and that review runs on its own schedule, separate from the building permit. Many older Globe neighborhoods also have narrow, county-maintained water lines from the early 1900s, so the city may require you to prove adequate water pressure and line capacity before signing off on a second dwelling, sometimes forcing a costly line upgrade you didn't budget for. On top of that, expect the plan reviewer to bounce drawings back at least once over setback or grading questions tied to the town's hillside lots, since Globe's older platting predates modern slope standards.
Expert Verdict — Marcus Reid, Licensed Designer
"In my experience with Globe projects, both that cost-per-square-foot figure and the missing timeline are essentially state-level placeholders, not numbers pulled from Gila County's actual permit history—I'd call the Community Development Department directly and get two or three local contractor bids before penciling in a budget or start date. With 31% HOA prevalence in the area, don't overlook that an HOA architectural review can quietly add weeks even when the county's own process moves fast."
Market Context
Globe has a median home value of $220,000. Comparable renovation projects in this market typically add 21% to resale value.
Neighborhoods in Globe with the strongest renovation and resale value potential include CVRMC Hospital District, Central Downtown, Southwest Globe, East Globe, North Hillside. Highest rental demand due to proximity to healthcare professionals at Clinical Valley Regional Medical Center.
Permit Process

Globe falls within Seismic Design Category C, which affects structural requirements for any new addition tying into the existing structure.

Common Questions
Globe Floor Plan Drafting FAQs
When do I need professionally drafted floor plans in Globe? +
You need accurate floor plans for: permit applications (required by Globe's building department for any structural work), refinancing or home equity loans, selling your home (accurate square footage documentation), renovation contractor bidding, HOA design review submissions, and insurance claims. Our as-built drawings capture your home's exact current dimensions.
What is an as-built floor plan and why do I need one in Globe? +
An as-built floor plan documents your home as it currently exists — including all room dimensions, door and window locations, wall thicknesses, and square footage. These are required when the original permit drawings are unavailable or the home was modified without permits. Globe's building department requires accurate as-builts when you apply for renovation or addition permits on older homes.
How much does floor plan drafting cost in Globe? +
Our floor plan drafting packages for Globe cover measured floor plans for all levels, room labels, door and window schedules, and verified square footage. Local drafting services typically charge $1,500–$4,000 for comparable work. Contact us for current pricing and to discuss your project. 14-day money-back guarantee.
How do you create floor plans remotely for my Globe home? +
You provide basic measurements (room dimensions, door/window sizes) and photos of each room. Our drafting team converts these into accurate CAD drawings with precise dimensions, wall thicknesses, and notations. For permit-grade as-built drawings, we may request additional measurements or a site visit from a local partner. We serve all Globe neighborhoods remotely.
What format are the floor plan drawings delivered in? +
We deliver drawings in PDF (for printing and permit submission) and DWG/DXF (AutoCAD-compatible format for contractors, engineers, and architects to work from). All drawings are formatted to Globe building department standards and include title block, scale, and code notations required for permit submission.
Can you draft floor plans for a rental property or multi-unit building in Globe? +
Yes — we draft floor plans for single-family homes, duplexes, triplexes, ADUs, condos, and small commercial properties in Globe. Multi-unit buildings are priced based on the total number of units and floors. Contact us for a custom quote if your property has more than 4 units.
Will accurate floor plans increase my home's value in Globe? +
In Globe, where median home values are around $220,000, inaccurate or missing square footage records can suppress list price and appraisal value. Professional as-built drawings establish defensible square footage for appraisers and buyers. Unpermitted additions documented and legitimized through permit drawings can recover thousands in appraised value.
Do I need floor plans to get an ADU or addition permit in Globe? +
Yes — Globe's building department requires accurate floor plans as part of any ADU, garage conversion, or addition permit application. Our packages combine floor plan drafting with the full permit-ready drawing set (site plan, elevations, electrical, Title 24) needed for plan check submittal. If you only need the floor plans themselves, our Starter package covers that.
Can you draft floor plans from old blueprints or photos in Globe? +
Yes — we can redraft from original blueprints, scans of old permit sets, hand-drawn sketches, or room photos combined with your measurements. We regularize old drawings to current CAD standards and update them to reflect any modifications made since original construction. This is a common service for Globe homes built before the 1990s.
