Augusta Plot Plan, Shed, and Addition Permit Guide

Augusta requires residential plot plans with permit applications for residential construction, storage sheds, manufactured homes, and additions.

Permit takeaway

Augusta says the Planning and Development Department requires a plot plan with permit applications for residential construction, storage sheds, and additions.

Zoning and placement

Planning and zoning approval is required before a permit can be issued, and plot plans must show property lines, structures, setbacks, easements, utilities, roadways, construction entrances, erosion controls, flood areas, and wetlands when applicable.

Building and trade review

A recorded plat or scaled drawing can be used, but the plan must show the entire parcel and the proposed work in relation to existing structures and property conditions.

Call before applying when

Call before applying if the project adds a shed, manufactured home, addition, driveway encroachment, construction entrance, or work near easements, flood hazard areas, wetlands, or utilities.
