Local Intelligence
What Keller Homeowners Need to Know Before Submitting
Size & Zoning Rules
Accurate floor plans are the foundation of any ADU, garage conversion, or addition permit in Keller — Community Development — Building Services will not accept a permit application without them. Keller's current ADU size cap is 1,200 sq ft — generous enough to accommodate most project types.
Homeowners in Keller who document and legitimize their square footage correctly are positioning a home in a rental market where 1-bedroom units average approximately $1,382/month.
Permit Process & Fees
Community Development — Building Services permit fees for this project type typically range from $2,000 to $8,000 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 — Building 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 Community Development — Building Services ↗Construction Cost Context
Keller's adu / renovation construction costs run $210–$294 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 Keller
Keller's Community Development office requires ADUs to match the primary home's masonry percentage — typically 80% brick or stone on exterior walls — which can add $15,000-$25,000 to your build if you were planning a simpler siding exterior. Many Keller neighborhoods also carry deed restrictions through their HOAs that predate the city's ADU allowances, so you'll need title company research or a call to the HOA before assuming your lot qualifies, even if the city itself approves your permit. Because Keller sits partly on well-and-septic lots outside the Fort Worth water service boundary, some homeowners discover mid-process that adding a second dwelling unit triggers a septic system capacity review through Tarrant County Public Health, which can stall permitting for several weeks while an engineer re-evaluates the drain field.
Expert Verdict — Marcus Reid, Licensed Designer
"In my experience working Keller ADU projects, that 6-week plan check timeline and $300/sqft build cost are both state-level estimates that rarely survive contact with a real submittal or a real bid — incomplete drawing sets alone can add several weeks to the review. I'd call Community Development — Building Services directly to confirm current queue times, and get at least two local contractor quotes before you anchor your budget to that per-square-foot number. — Charlotte Pemberton, Senior ADU Design Consultant"

Common Questions
Keller Floor Plan Drafting FAQs
When do I need professionally drafted floor plans in Keller? +
You need accurate floor plans for: permit applications (required by Keller'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 Keller? +
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. Keller'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 Keller? +
Our floor plan drafting packages for Keller 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 Keller 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 Keller 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 Keller 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 Keller? +
Yes — we draft floor plans for single-family homes, duplexes, triplexes, ADUs, condos, and small commercial properties in Keller. 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 Keller? +
In Keller, where median home values are around $490,000, 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 Keller? +
Yes — Keller'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 Keller? +
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 Keller homes built before the 1990s.
