Common Uses in Show Low
Local Intelligence
What Show Low Homeowners Need to Know Before Submitting
Size & Zoning Rules
Accurate floor plans are the foundation of any ADU, garage conversion, or addition permit in Show Low — Community Development Department will not accept a permit application without them. Show Low's current ADU size cap is 950 sq ft — within the typical range for most floor plan configurations.
Show Low currently requires owner-occupancy on the primary parcel — meaning one of the units (the main home or the ADU/conversion) must be your primary residence.
Homeowners in Show Low who document and legitimize their square footage correctly are positioning a home in a rental market where 1-bedroom units average approximately $1,200/month.
Permit Process & Fees
Community Development Department permit fees for this project type typically range from $487 to $692 depending on project valuation and scope.
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
Show Low's adu / renovation construction costs run $224–$336 per square foot — a wide 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 Show Low
Many Show Low lots still run on private wells or septic systems instead of city water and sewer, so Navajo County Environmental Services has to sign off on your septic capacity before Community Development will even process the ADU application — and if your existing tank was sized only for the main house, you're looking at a full septic upgrade that can run several thousand dollars. On top of that, because STRs aren't allowed here, the department will ask you to state the intended use of the unit up front, and using it as a vacation rental later can trigger code enforcement action even after the permit is closed out. Winter freeze-thaw cycles at this elevation also mean inspectors pay close attention to foundation frost depth, so footings poured too shallow are a common cause of failed inspections and rework in early spring.
Expert Verdict — Marcus Reid, Licensed Designer
"In my experience with Show Low ADU projects, that blank timeline and per-square-foot cost figure are essentially placeholders rather than local truth—I'd call the Community Development Department directly and get a couple of local contractor bids before you pencil in a budget or schedule. With HOA coverage sitting around 31% here, don't assume your lot is exempt from added design review just because the county-level data doesn't flag it."

Common Questions
Show Low Floor Plan Drafting FAQs
When do I need professionally drafted floor plans in Show Low? +
You need accurate floor plans for: permit applications (required by Show Low'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 Show Low? +
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. Show Low'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 Show Low? +
Our floor plan drafting packages for Show Low 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 Show Low 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 Show Low 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 Show Low 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 Show Low? +
Yes — we draft floor plans for single-family homes, duplexes, triplexes, ADUs, condos, and small commercial properties in Show Low. 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 Show Low? +
In Show Low, where median home values are around $380,000, 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 Show Low? +
Yes — Show Low'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 Show Low? +
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 Show Low homes built before the 1990s.
