Local Intelligence
What Cedar Park Homeowners Need to Know Before Submitting
Size & Zoning Rules
Accurate floor plans are the foundation of any ADU, garage conversion, or addition permit in Cedar Park — Development Services will not accept a permit application without them. Cedar Park's current ADU size cap is 650 sq ft — on the tighter end, which constrains larger conversion plans.
Cedar Park currently requires owner-occupancy on the primary parcel — meaning one of the units (the main home or the ADU/conversion) must be your primary residence.
Homeowners in Cedar Park who document and legitimize their square footage correctly are positioning a home in a rental market where 1-bedroom units average approximately $1,190/month.
Permit Process & Fees
Development Services permit fees for this project type typically range from $6,825 to $6,975 depending on project valuation and scope. Plan check runs approximately 1.2 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
Cedar Park's adu / renovation construction costs run $280–$420 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 Cedar Park
Most Cedar Park subdivisions were built under strict deed restrictions managed by active HOAs, and Development Services will actually require proof of HOA design approval before they'll even log your ADU application into their queue. Since short-term rentals aren't allowed here, you'll also need to submit a signed affidavit confirming the unit is for long-term or family use, which some title companies want re-verified if the property changes hands. On top of that, older sections of Cedar Park still run on shared water meters from the original subdivision plat, so Williamson County often requires a separate meter setup study before sign-off — a step many homeowners don't discover until they're already mid-permit.
Expert Verdict — Marcus Reid, Licensed Designer
"In my experience, that 1.2-week plan check timeline and $400/sqft build cost are Cedar Park state-level estimates, not gospel — I'd get at least two local contractor quotes and call Development Services directly before penciling in a schedule. With 78% of the area under HOA control, the real bottleneck is often architectural review, not the plan check itself, so a "1-week" permit can easily stretch to a month once you factor in incomplete drawing sets and HOA sign-off. - Charlotte Pemberton, Senior ADU Design Consultant"

Common Questions
Cedar Park Floor Plan Drafting FAQs
When do I need professionally drafted floor plans in Cedar Park? +
You need accurate floor plans for: permit applications (required by Cedar Park'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 Cedar Park? +
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. Cedar Park'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 Cedar Park? +
Our floor plan drafting packages for Cedar Park 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 Cedar Park 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 Cedar Park 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 Cedar Park 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 Cedar Park? +
Yes — we draft floor plans for single-family homes, duplexes, triplexes, ADUs, condos, and small commercial properties in Cedar Park. 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 Cedar Park? +
In Cedar Park, where median home values are around $390,000, 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 Cedar Park? +
Yes — Cedar Park'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 Cedar Park? +
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 Cedar Park homes built before the 1990s.
