Florida House Plans

What this collection includes

A plan is listed here only when it is published for sale on this site and its own record is Florida-oriented: Mediterranean, coastal, waterfront, courtyard pool, lanai, concrete block, or a Florida signed-and-sealed upgrade offered on that CAD set. General cabin and barndominium sets stay on their own pages unless the published record actually says they are a Florida design.

Designs still in review are not listed and are not given prices or product markup on this page. The full catalog shows the same published-only rule.

What you still need before a Florida permit

Every stock set is unsealed. Before a building department will treat the drawings as permit documents, a Florida-licensed engineer or architect has to review them for the lot you actually own and seal the work they take responsibility for. That review looks at the site, not at the name of the plan: flood zone, soil, setbacks, wind exposure, and whether the lot sits in the High-Velocity Hurricane Zone.

Buying a PDF does not include that seal. Florida house plans with an engineering stamp explains the local review. Signed and sealed house plans describes the separate studio upgrade, which applies only after you buy a qualifying CAD set.

• A current survey, and any geotechnical information the reviewer requests.
• The flood zone, finished-floor requirement, and zoning setbacks for the parcel.
• A determination of wind exposure and whether the parcel is inside Miami-Dade or Broward.
• Product choices for windows, doors, and roofing that the reviewer can actually specify.

Stock plans are not HVHZ plans

Miami-Dade and Broward are the High-Velocity Hurricane Zone. A stock set drawn for ordinary use is not HVHZ-approved, HVHZ-ready, or certified for those counties. Entry Etsy Studio plans are non-HVHZ and are not represented here as hurricane products. Read HVHZ house plans before you treat any catalog drawing as a South Florida permit set. Wind design in general, outside that label, is covered under hurricane resistant house plans.

How to choose among the published sets

Start with the lot, not the elevation. A one-story courtyard house and a two-story waterfront house answer different surveys, different roof spans, and different flood conditions. Use the style pages below when you already know the building character you want, and use the price guide when you are comparing a small PDF with a high-end CAD set.

The approved range for stock sets in this catalog is $49 to $10,999. The cards on this page show only the price stored on a published plan. Nothing is invented to fill an empty style.
