How to Get Floor Plans for Your House

Where to look before hiring anyone

Start by checking the county assessor's office or the original builder, since many homes already have a floor plan on file from permitting or the original sale.

If the home was listed for sale in the last several years, the original real estate listing sometimes still has a floor plan attached that you can request from the listing agent.

Getting a plan made if none exists

If no plan exists, a professional can measure the home and produce an accurate floor plan, usually using a laser measuring tool to keep dimensions precise.

This is also the point where many homeowners choose to get a 3D floor plan instead of a flat 2D one, since a 3D version is easier to use for renovation planning or resale marketing.

• Check the county assessor's office first
• Ask the original builder if the home is newer
• Request the plan from a past listing agent if available
• Hire a professional to measure and draft one if nothing exists
