Local Intelligence
What Greeley Homeowners Need to Know Before Submitting
Size & Zoning Rules
Accurate floor plans are the foundation of any ADU, garage conversion, or addition permit in Greeley — Community Development will not accept a permit application without them. Greeley's current ADU size cap is 1,200 sq ft — generous enough to accommodate most project types.
Greeley 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 Greeley who document and legitimize their square footage correctly are positioning a home in a rental market where 1-bedroom units average approximately $999/month.
Permit Process & Fees
Community Development permit fees for this project type typically range from $13,924 to $16,612 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 Community Development 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 ↗Construction Cost Context
Greeley's adu / renovation construction costs run $140–$210 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 Greeley
Greeley's Community Development department requires a separate sewer tap fee study for most ADUs, since the city's aging clay pipe infrastructure in older neighborhoods like the Jefferson or Glenmere districts sometimes can't handle added capacity without a line assessment — this can add several weeks before your permit even gets scheduled for review. Weld County also layers on its own septic or well verification if your lot predates certain municipal water annexations, which catches a lot of homeowners off guard mid-process. Because Greeley allows short-term rentals, you'll also need to budget time for a separate STR license application through the city after your certificate of occupancy, since that approval doesn't move in parallel with your building permit.
Expert Verdict — Marcus Reid, Licensed Designer
"In my experience with Greeley homeowners, that 6-week plan check figure is optimistic — it's really a state-level estimate, and incomplete drawing sets (which is most first submittals) will push you closer to 10-12 weeks in practice, so call Community Development directly before locking in a start date. The $200/sqft cost is also a broad estimate rather than a Greeley-specific number, so I'd get at least two local contractor quotes before you build your budget around it."

Common Questions
Greeley Floor Plan Drafting FAQs
When do I need professionally drafted floor plans in Greeley? +
You need accurate floor plans for: permit applications (required by Greeley'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 Greeley? +
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. Greeley'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 Greeley? +
Our floor plan drafting packages for Greeley 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 Greeley 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 Greeley 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 Greeley 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 Greeley? +
Yes — we draft floor plans for single-family homes, duplexes, triplexes, ADUs, condos, and small commercial properties in Greeley. 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 Greeley? +
In Greeley, where median home values are around $330,000, 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 Greeley? +
Yes — Greeley'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 Greeley? +
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 Greeley homes built before the 1990s.
