Common Uses in Broomfield
Local Intelligence
What Broomfield Homeowners Need to Know Before Submitting
Size & Zoning Rules
Accurate floor plans are the foundation of any ADU, garage conversion, or addition permit in Broomfield — Building Division will not accept a permit application without them. Broomfield's current ADU size cap is 800 sq ft — within the typical range for most floor plan configurations.
Broomfield 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 Broomfield who document and legitimize their square footage correctly are positioning a home in a rental market where 1-bedroom units average approximately $1,719/month.
Permit Process & Fees
Building Division permit fees for this project type typically range from $2,200 to $8,500 depending on project valuation and scope. Plan check runs approximately 6 weeks — though each correction cycle adds 3–6 weeks, which is why code-compliant drawings matter so much.
Floor plans submitted to Building Division 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 Building Division ↗Construction Cost Context
Broomfield's adu / renovation construction costs run $157–$220 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 Broomfield
Because Broomfield operates as a combined city-county, your ADU application actually gets routed through both municipal planning review and Broomfield County records, and if your legal description or plat hasn't been updated since the city-county split, you'll hit a title discrepancy that stalls permit intake until it's corrected. The Building Division also requires a separate tap fee study for water and sewer if your lot was platted before 1990, since many older Broomfield subdivisions were built with utility lines sized only for the primary residence. Because short-term rentals aren't allowed here, some lenders financing the ADU will ask for a letter from the city confirming long-term rental intent before they'll release construction draws.
Expert Verdict — Marcus Reid, Licensed Designer
"In my experience, that $225/sqft figure and the 6-week plan check timeline read like Colorado state-level averages rather than numbers pulled from Broomfield's actual permit desk, so I'd call the Building Division directly and get two or three local contractor quotes before penciling those into your budget. What the data doesn't show is that a 6-week estimate assumes a clean, complete drawing set on first submittal — with the 35% HOA prevalence here, I've seen plenty of projects add 3-4 weeks just from HOA review running parallel to the city's process."
Market Context
Broomfield has a median home value of $510,000. Comparable renovation projects in this market typically add 23% to resale value.
Neighborhoods in Broomfield with the strongest renovation and resale value potential include North Broomfield, Broadlands, Ridgeview Heights, Country Estates, Willow Run. Very large lots and proximity to St. Anthony North Hospital and I‑25 make it ideal for detached ADUs and rentals.
Permit Process

Common Questions
Broomfield Floor Plan Drafting FAQs
When do I need professionally drafted floor plans in Broomfield? +
You need accurate floor plans for: permit applications (required by Broomfield'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 Broomfield? +
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. Broomfield'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 Broomfield? +
Our floor plan drafting packages for Broomfield start at $997 for a standard residential home. This includes 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 the same work. We deliver within 10 business days with a 14-day money-back guarantee.
How do you create floor plans remotely for my Broomfield 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 Broomfield 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 Broomfield 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 Broomfield? +
Yes — we draft floor plans for single-family homes, duplexes, triplexes, ADUs, condos, and small commercial properties in Broomfield. 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 Broomfield? +
In Broomfield, where median home values are around $510,000, 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 Broomfield? +
Yes — Broomfield'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 Broomfield? +
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 Broomfield homes built before the 1990s.
