Local Intelligence
What Lone Tree Homeowners Need to Know Before Submitting
Size & Zoning Rules
Accurate floor plans are the foundation of any ADU, garage conversion, or addition permit in Lone Tree — Building Division of the City of Lone Tree will not accept a permit application without them. Lone Tree's current ADU size cap is 800 sq ft — within the typical range for most floor plan configurations.
Lone Tree 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 Lone Tree who document and legitimize their square footage correctly are positioning a home in a rental market where 1-bedroom units average approximately $1,772/month.
Permit Process & Fees
Building Division of the City of Lone Tree permit fees for this project type typically range from $2,009 to $3,488 depending on project valuation and scope.
Floor plans submitted to Building Division of the City of Lone Tree 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 of the City of Lone Tree ↗⚠ Common Pitfall in Lone Tree
Almost every lot in Lone Tree sits inside a Douglas County-approved planned unit development (PUD) with its own HOA design review board, and those boards often have stricter setback and roofline-matching rules than the city's own zoning code — meaning your ADU can meet every city requirement and still get rejected until you resubmit revised elevations to the HOA. Because short-term rentals aren't allowed here, the city will also ask you to sign an affidavit confirming the unit is for long-term family or tenant use, which some lenders want to see before they'll finance the build. On top of that, Lone Tree runs water and sewer through the Willow Creek or Acres Green metro districts depending on your neighborhood, so you'll need a separate tap and service confirmation letter from that specific district before the Building Division will stamp your plans.
Expert Verdict — Marcus Reid, Licensed Designer
"In my experience, both that timeline and cost-per-square-foot figure are missing here entirely, which tells me they're likely relying on state-level estimates rather than actual Lone Tree data — I'd call the Building Division directly and get two or three local contractor quotes before penciling in a budget or schedule. With HOA coverage this high at 80%, what the data doesn't show is that your HOA's design review can add weeks to your timeline independent of whatever the city quotes you."

Common Questions
Lone Tree Floor Plan Drafting FAQs
When do I need professionally drafted floor plans in Lone Tree? +
You need accurate floor plans for: permit applications (required by Lone Tree'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 Lone Tree? +
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. Lone Tree'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 Lone Tree? +
Our floor plan drafting packages for Lone Tree 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 Lone Tree 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 Lone Tree 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 Lone Tree 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 Lone Tree? +
Yes — we draft floor plans for single-family homes, duplexes, triplexes, ADUs, condos, and small commercial properties in Lone Tree. 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 Lone Tree? +
In Lone Tree, where median home values are around $780,000, 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 Lone Tree? +
Yes — Lone Tree'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 Lone Tree? +
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 Lone Tree homes built before the 1990s.
