AN ACCURATE SITE PLAN IS NECESSARY TO PROCESS YOUR PERMIT
A site plan is necessary to establish a clear “snapshot” record of the correct development and use of the
property. It may be helpful to think of how the property would look if you were flying above it and represent
this on paper. You might start with an Assessor’s plat map (copies available at the Assessor’s office and at
maps.co.shasta.ca.us/shastacountymap/ for an accurate outline of your property or contact our office to verify
if there is copy in our records.
An 8-1/2” x 11” size paper works well for drawing the property outline. Once the property outline is drawn,
please draw the existing improvements (driveway, well, septic system, etc.), structures (home, garage, shop,
etc.), uses (pasture, orchard, etc.), and features (creeks, drainages, etc.) for the property. Keep size
proportionate, write in distances to show location, and label the use of all existing and proposed structures
(such as short term rental house, garage, or barn), as well as all items in the list below. (See attached example
for guidance.)
Make sure the following are shown on the site plan:
1. □ Property owner’s name
2. □ Assessor’s Parcel Number for the property
3. □ Address of property
4. □ North arrow
5. □ Square footage and use of all buildings
6. □ Septic system and well location
7. □ Roads and driveways
8. □ Parking locations with dimensions
9. □ Trash Receptacle Locations
On the back of this page is an example for guidance.
Please ask for help if you have any further questions.
