Site plan builder.
Most HOA fence denials come down to paperwork, not the fence itself. Upload your plat map or start from a blank grid, mark your property lines, easements, fence run, posts, and gates, then download a clean site plan you can hand to your board.
This produces a plan for HOA review. It is not a survey and does not replace a stamped plat or a licensed surveyor. It is easiest to build on a computer.
Six steps to a plan your board will approve.
Get your plat map
Upload a photo of your plat map, or start from a blank grid and draw your lot from scratch.
Set the scale
On a blank grid, type what one small square is worth. On an uploaded plat map, use Set Scale to click two points a known distance apart. That turns the drawing into real feet.
Mark the property line
Pick Property Line, click each corner of your lot, then press Finish on the last one.
Draw the fence run
Pick Fence Line, click along where the fence will go, and press Finish. Length and post count update as you draw.
Place gates and easements
Set the gate width, then click the fence line where the gate belongs. Mark easements the same way you marked the property line.
Fill in details and download
Add your HOA, fence type, height, material, and post spacing, then download the PDF and hand it to your board.
- On a blank grid, the number you type is one small square. The bold lines are only every fourth square, so they mark a bigger block, not a different unit.
- At the default 10 ft, each small square is 10 ft and each bold block is 40 ft. Change it to 20 ft and every square becomes 20 ft, bold blocks included.
- On an uploaded plat map, use the Set Scale tool instead: click two points you know the real distance between, then type that distance. Plats usually print a dimension you can use.
- Until the scale is set, distances read in pixels and posts use a default spacing. Set it and the whole plan switches to real feet.
Your county recorder's office keeps the plat for your parcel on file and will send you a copy. Call or stop by and ask for the plat for your property, and check your county's tax assessor website while you're at it. A plat map makes every step below faster, because your property lines and setbacks are already drawn for you.
The record that governs your setbacks is your county's plat, not this drawing. Use this plan to show your board what you intend to build.
Existing houses, fences, and structures draw in black. Proposed fencing draws in copper.
Fence run: 0 px
Posts: 0
Gates: 0
Easements marked: 0
Set the scale to get real distances.
Optional. A sketch or photo showing the fence height and style. It goes on the last page of the PDF.
Nothing yet. Pick a tool above the plan and start clicking.
Your plan goes out as a PDF: the drawing, your details, a legend, and the elevation photo if you added one.
