Show the proposal alongside existing hard surfaces
Georgetown’s impervious-cover FAQ discusses roofs, driveways, parking, pavement and sidewalks as part of the surface question, with determination left to the Development Engineer. Show the existing site alongside the proposal rather than present only the small area you want added. This guide does not calculate an allowance.
On a sketch, distinguish current roof and paving areas from proposed additions or replacements. Label surfaces you cannot identify and mark retained features. Explain whether the request changes the outline or replaces a surface within it, without choosing a material as proof that review is unnecessary.
Identify whether the drawing is a plat or a survey
The City FAQ distinguishes a subdivision plat from a property survey and says it does not maintain property surveys. Identify which document you have, its date and source. Do not treat a subdivision drawing as though it necessarily records every present improvement on the individual lot.
Keep the drawing and surface sketch with the City or professional enquiry. Ask which record and further assessment are needed for the actual work before ordering material. A document label does not settle boundaries, easements, drainage design, permitted coverage or approval of a paving proposal; confirm the particular task and property directly.
Why mark existing roofs and paving when asking about extra driveway space?
The City FAQ includes several hard-surface types in its impervious-cover discussion. A complete-site sketch explains the context for an added driveway area; it is an enquiry aid rather than a calculated legal allowance.
Is a subdivision plat the same as a property survey in Georgetown’s FAQ?
No. The City distinguishes subdivision plats from individual property surveys and provides record-finding guidance. Identify the document you hold and ask what is needed for the actual proposal without assuming it settles boundaries or sufficiency.

For a rented home, confirm who can authorize alterations. In a shared building, ask about access and work rules. A citywide construction period does not establish the age, condition or safety requirements of an individual home; check the property records and the specific project.
