Local Intelligence
What Globe Homeowners Need to Know Before Submitting
Size & Zoning Rules
Any new square footage added to your Globe home counts against the same zoning envelope that governs ADU size, meaning large additions may affect your ability to add a future ADU. Globe's current ADU size cap is 1,000 sq ft — within the typical range for most floor plan configurations.
Globe does not impose an owner-occupancy requirement, so you can rent both the main home and any ADU or conversion as investment units.
If the addition creates a second unit or is later converted to a rental, Globe's ADU market supports approximately $1,264/month for a 2-bedroom unit.
Permit Process & Fees
Addition permit packages submitted to Community Development Department must include a site plan, floor plans, all four elevations, an electrical plan, and energy compliance documentation — plus stamped structural drawings are always required for any load-bearing elements, second-story work, or new foundation.
Visit Community Development Department ↗Construction Cost Context
Globe's home addition construction costs run $120–$180 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 Globe
Because Globe sits in old mining terrain with steep lots and rock close to the surface, plenty of parcels need a septic or leach field evaluation from Gila County Environmental Services before Community Development will even log your ADU application — and that review runs on its own schedule, separate from the building permit. Many older Globe neighborhoods also have narrow, county-maintained water lines from the early 1900s, so the city may require you to prove adequate water pressure and line capacity before signing off on a second dwelling, sometimes forcing a costly line upgrade you didn't budget for. On top of that, expect the plan reviewer to bounce drawings back at least once over setback or grading questions tied to the town's hillside lots, since Globe's older platting predates modern slope standards.
Expert Verdict — Marcus Reid, Licensed Designer
"In my experience with Globe projects, both that cost-per-square-foot figure and the missing timeline are essentially state-level placeholders, not numbers pulled from Gila County's actual permit history—I'd call the Community Development Department directly and get two or three local contractor bids before penciling in a budget or start date. With 31% HOA prevalence in the area, don't overlook that an HOA architectural review can quietly add weeks even when the county's own process moves fast."
Market Context
Globe has a median home value of $220,000. Comparable renovation projects in this market typically add 21% to resale value.
Neighborhoods in Globe with the strongest home addition and resale value potential include CVRMC Hospital District, Central Downtown, Southwest Globe, East Globe, North Hillside. Highest rental demand due to proximity to healthcare professionals at Clinical Valley Regional Medical Center.
Permit Process
Permit applications are reviewed by the Community Development Department. Design review: Yes - in historic districts only.
Globe falls within Seismic Design Category C, which affects structural requirements for any new addition tying into the existing structure.

Common Questions
Globe Home Addition FAQs
Do I need a permit for a home addition in Globe? +
Yes — any structural addition to your home in Globe requires a building permit. This applies to room additions, second-story additions, sunrooms, and attached garages. You'll need permit-ready drawings before the building department will accept your application. Our packages are formatted specifically for Globe's submittal requirements.
How much does a home addition cost in Globe? +
Home additions in Globe typically cost between $150–$400 per square foot depending on the scope, finishes, and structural complexity. A 600 sq ft addition ranges from $90,000 to $240,000. Second-story additions cost more than ground-floor extensions due to structural requirements. Contact us to discuss drawing package options for your project.
What drawings are required to permit a home addition in Globe? +
Globe's building department requires: a site plan showing the addition's footprint and setbacks, floor plans for all affected levels, all four exterior elevations, an electrical plan, and energy compliance (Title 24 in California). Structural plans stamped by a licensed engineer are required for any load-bearing elements — included in our Premium package.
How long does the permit process take for a home addition in Globe? +
Plan check in Globe typically takes 8 weeks for home additions. Additions with structural components may require additional review. Complete, code-compliant drawings significantly reduce correction cycles — each cycle adds 3–6 weeks. Our drawings are engineered to pass on the first submittal.
What setbacks apply to home additions in Globe? +
Globe enforces minimum setbacks from property lines for all additions: typically 4–5 ft side setbacks and 5 ft rear setbacks, though these vary by zoning district and lot size. Your addition must stay within the buildable envelope. Our site plan documents existing and proposed setbacks and flags any zoning variances required.
Do I need structural drawings for a home addition in Globe? +
Yes, for most additions. Any load-bearing walls, new foundations, second-story construction, or roof structure changes require stamped structural drawings from a licensed engineer. California's CBC (California Building Code) and seismic requirements make structural plans mandatory for most addition types. Our Standard and Premium packages include stamped structural drawings.
How much do home addition drawings cost in Globe? +
Our permit-ready home addition drawing packages for Globe include everything your building department requires — floor plans, elevations, structural, and energy compliance. Every package is engineered for AZ code compliance and formatted for Globe's building department. 14-day money-back guarantee.
Will a home addition increase my home's value in Globe? +
In Globe, where median home values are approximately $220,000, a permitted home addition adds square footage that appraisers value as part of the home's gross living area. Return on investment varies by addition type — master suite additions, family room expansions, and additional bedrooms typically recoup 50–75% of project cost in appraised value in AZ markets.
Can I add a second story to my home in Globe? +
Second-story additions are permitted in most Globe residential zones, subject to height limits and design review requirements. California generally requires ministerial permit approval, but some cities impose design compatibility or neighborhood compatibility review for second stories. Our drawings cover all levels including foundation upgrades, shear walls, and roof framing required for vertical additions.
