Common Uses in Greenacres
Local Intelligence
What Greenacres Homeowners Need to Know Before Submitting
Size & Zoning Rules
Accurate floor plans are the foundation of any ADU, garage conversion, or addition permit in Greenacres — Greenacres Building Department will not accept a permit application without them. Greenacres's current ADU size cap is 1,000 sq ft — within the typical range for most floor plan configurations.
Greenacres 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 Greenacres who document and legitimize their square footage correctly are positioning a home in a rental market where 1-bedroom units average approximately $1,575/month.
Permit Process & Fees
Floor plans submitted to Greenacres Building 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 Greenacres Building Department ↗Construction Cost Context
Greenacres's adu / renovation construction costs run $240–$384 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 Greenacres
Greenacres runs permit fees as a percentage of your total construction value rather than a flat fee, so a $368/sqft ADU build can trigger a much bigger permit bill than homeowners expect once they get their contractor's final estimate. Because Palm Beach County still handles utility connection approvals separately from city building review, homeowners often submit their Greenacres permit application only to get stuck waiting on a county sign-off for water/sewer capacity before the city will issue anything. It's worth calling the Utilities Department directly before finalizing your ADU square footage, since older lots in Greenacres sometimes have undersized service lines that need upgrading before a second dwelling unit can connect.
Expert Verdict — Marcus Reid, Licensed Designer
"In my experience, both the timeline and the per-square-foot cost shown here are blank or missing entirely for Greenacres, which tells me these are state-level placeholders rather than anything pulled from our local Building Department — I wouldn't build a budget or schedule around them. With 45% of the area under HOA control and STRs allowed, I'd get a written cost estimate from a local contractor and call the Building Department directly for current plan check queue times before you commit to numbers."
Market Context

Common Questions
Greenacres Floor Plan Drafting FAQs
When do I need professionally drafted floor plans in Greenacres? +
You need accurate floor plans for: permit applications (required by Greenacres'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 Greenacres? +
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. Greenacres'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 Greenacres? +
Our floor plan drafting packages for Greenacres 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 Greenacres 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 Greenacres 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 Greenacres 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 Greenacres? +
Yes — we draft floor plans for single-family homes, duplexes, triplexes, ADUs, condos, and small commercial properties in Greenacres. 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 Greenacres? +
In Greenacres, where median home values are around $340,000, 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 Greenacres? +
Yes — Greenacres'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 Greenacres? +
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 Greenacres homes built before the 1990s.
