Common Uses in Hollywood
Local Intelligence
What Hollywood Homeowners Need to Know Before Submitting
Size & Zoning Rules
0Hollywood 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 Hollywood who document and legitimize their square footage correctly are positioning a home in a rental market where 1-bedroom units average approximately $1,862/month.
Permit Process & Fees
Development Services permit fees for this project type typically range from $16,896 to $17,015 depending on project valuation and scope. Plan check runs approximately 12 weeks — though each correction cycle adds 3–6 weeks, which is why code-compliant drawings matter so much.
Floor plans submitted to Development Services 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 Development Services ↗Construction Cost Context
Hollywood's adu / renovation construction costs run $200–$350 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 Hollywood
Since Hollywood sits within Broward County's coastal zone, most lots east of the Intracoastal need a Coastal Development Permit on top of your standard building permit — this involves a separate review for wind load and flood elevation compliance and typically tacks on 3-5 weeks before Development Services even looks at your architectural plans. Because a lot of Hollywood's housing stock dates back to the 1950s-60s, older electrical panels often can't handle a new ADU's load, so FPL will require a service upgrade that means pulling a separate electrical permit and scheduling an inspection that's notorious for backlogs. If you're planning to use the ADU as a short-term rental, don't skip registering with the city's STR program separately — Development Services and the STR licensing office don't share records, so your building permit approval won't automatically clear you to list on Airbnb.
Expert Verdict — Marcus Reid, Licensed Designer
"In my experience, that 12-week timeline and $250/sqft figure read like Hollywood-wide estimates rather than what I've actually seen close out on a permit here, so I'd get a local contractor quote and call Development Services directly before banking on either number. What the data also doesn't flag clearly enough is that coastal overlay — if your lot triggers a CDP review, budget several additional months on top of standard plan check, regardless of how clean your drawing set is."

Common Questions
Hollywood Floor Plan Drafting FAQs
When do I need professionally drafted floor plans in Hollywood? +
You need accurate floor plans for: permit applications (required by Hollywood'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 Hollywood? +
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. Hollywood'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 Hollywood? +
Our floor plan drafting packages for Hollywood 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 Hollywood 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 Hollywood 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 Hollywood 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 Hollywood? +
Yes — we draft floor plans for single-family homes, duplexes, triplexes, ADUs, condos, and small commercial properties in Hollywood. 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 Hollywood? +
In Hollywood, where median home values are around $395,000, 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 Hollywood? +
Yes — Hollywood'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 Hollywood? +
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 Hollywood homes built before the 1990s.
