Local Intelligence
What Camas Homeowners Need to Know Before Submitting
Size & Zoning Rules
Accurate floor plans are the foundation of any ADU, garage conversion, or addition permit in Camas — Building Division will not accept a permit application without them. Camas's current ADU size cap is 1,000 sq ft — within the typical range for most floor plan configurations.
Camas 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 Camas who document and legitimize their square footage correctly are positioning a home in a rental market where 1-bedroom units average approximately $1,600/month.
Permit Process & Fees
Building Division permit fees for this project type typically range from $13,000 to $22,000 depending on project valuation and scope.
Floor plans submitted to Building Division 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 Building Division ↗Construction Cost Context
Camas's adu / renovation construction costs run $150–$252 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 Camas
Camas quietly bundles a school impact fee into your ADU permit — even though your accessory unit isn't adding kids to a classroom, you'll still owe roughly 35% of the district's $6,650 school fee if the ADU sits detached from the main house. On top of that, because the city is in Seismic Zone D1, plan reviewers scrutinize detached ADU foundation and shear wall details more closely than a typical garage conversion, which can bounce your plans back for revisions if your engineer isn't used to Clark County's interpretation of the code. Budget for the water/sewer system development charge too — it's billed separately from the building permit and often surprises homeowners who only priced out the construction cost per square foot.
Expert Verdict — Marcus Reid, Licensed Designer
"In my experience with Camas ADU projects, both that permit timeline and per-square-foot cost figure look like statewide placeholders rather than numbers pulled from actual Clark County submittals, so I'd call the Camas Building Division and get two or three local contractor bids before you anchor a budget or schedule to them. With 35% of the market under HOA governance, don't overlook that a clean plan check doesn't guarantee a clean HOA design review — I've seen that step add just as much delay as permitting itself."

Common Questions
Camas Floor Plan Drafting FAQs
When do I need professionally drafted floor plans in Camas? +
You need accurate floor plans for: permit applications (required by Camas'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 Camas? +
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. Camas'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 Camas? +
Our floor plan drafting packages for Camas 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 Camas 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 Camas 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 Camas 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 Camas? +
Yes — we draft floor plans for single-family homes, duplexes, triplexes, ADUs, condos, and small commercial properties in Camas. 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 Camas? +
In Camas, where median home values are around $700,000, 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 Camas? +
Yes — Camas'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 Camas? +
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 Camas homes built before the 1990s.
