PLOT PLAN | Submittal instructions, requirements checklist, and other helpful information
(REQUIRED FOR NEW ONE- AND TWO-FAMILY-DWELLINGS)
• A plot plan (also known as a survey plot plan) is often described as a “mini site plan.” A plot plan is a plan drawing/diagram which
shows the buildings, easements, ground mounted mechanical equipment, fences and/or walls, the position of roads, and other
constructions of an existing or proposed property at a defined scale.
• A plot plan can only be drawn, signed, and sealed by a surveyor licensed in the state of North Carolina. When submitting a plot plan,
you must provide the most current signed and sealed version showing: a) existing conditions only; OR b) both existing and proposed
conditions.
• If only a plot plan is submitted, show existing and proposed conditions, and follow both the Supplemental Plan and Plot Plan
Checklists. Please also read through the Supplemental Drawing Checklist, as this may also be applicable to your project.
