Local Intelligence
What Wichita Falls Homeowners Need to Know Before Submitting

Visit City of Wichita Falls Development Services Department ↗Construction Cost Context
Wichita Falls's adu / renovation construction costs run $176–$246 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 Wichita Falls
Older neighborhoods like Country Club or the Faith Village area often have a separate plat note requiring minimum lot width before a second dwelling can be added, which means a quick trip to Wichita County records before Development Services will even log your application. Because the city classifies most detached ADUs as a new dwelling unit rather than an accessory structure, you'll also need a separate water tap and sewer tap fee through the City's Public Works Utilities Division — often $2,500–$4,000 — even if your existing home's lines are large enough to share. And since short-term rentals aren't allowed here, be ready for the reviewer to ask for a signed affidavit confirming long-term occupancy intent before final permit sign-off.
Expert Verdict — Marcus Reid, Licensed Designer
"In my experience with Wichita Falls homeowners, both that 6-week timeline and the $220/sqft figure look like state-level estimates rather than local reality, so I'd call City of Wichita Falls Development Services directly and get a couple of local contractor bids before penciling in a budget or schedule; even in a best-case scenario, I've seen that 6-week window stretch to 10-12 weeks once a drawing set needs even one correction cycle."

Common Questions
Wichita Falls Floor Plan Drafting FAQs
When do I need professionally drafted floor plans in Wichita Falls? +
You need accurate floor plans for: permit applications (required by Wichita Falls'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 Wichita Falls? +
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. Wichita Falls'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 Wichita Falls? +
Our floor plan drafting packages for Wichita Falls 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 Wichita Falls 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 Wichita Falls 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 Wichita Falls 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 Wichita Falls? +
Yes — we draft floor plans for single-family homes, duplexes, triplexes, ADUs, condos, and small commercial properties in Wichita Falls. 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 Wichita Falls? +
In Wichita Falls, where median home values are around $130,000, 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 Wichita Falls? +
Yes — Wichita Falls'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 Wichita Falls? +
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 Wichita Falls homes built before the 1990s.
