What does a fence plot plan need to show?

Your property outline, location of the proposed fence, total linear feet, height, material, distance from any street/sidewalk, and (in most cities) the location of your house. Fence Plotter generates this automatically from a satellite image and your fence drawing.

Can I draw my plot plan myself?

Oldsmar, FL fence rules

Max height (rear yard): 6'

A city fence permit is required before construction.
Fences and walls over 6' in a residential district require board of adjustment approval after a public hearing; public utility installations are excepted.
On corner lots, no fence, wall, or obstruction is allowed within 15' of the intersection of the right-of-way lines. A fence up to 6' may be permitted along the secondary front; the primary front is normally the frontage the property is addressed from, though the planning official may determine otherwise based on the architectural front.
No fence may be erected within 2' of the back of a public sidewalk, and none may sit in an easement or right-of-way or enclose a water meter box or manhole without approval from the public works director.
The smooth, finished surface must face outward, and barbed wire fences are prohibited in residential districts.
Swimming pools require an approved safety barrier: a screen enclosure (birdcage) or a 4' fence around the pool or the property. Neither may encumber an easement.

Do you need a permit? Yes. Oldsmar issues fences on its own Application for Non-Masonry Fence Permit, which names Land Development Code 5.1.7 as the rule it applies. The owner's affidavit on that form certifies that no work or installation has commenced before the permit is issued, so the application comes first. A survey showing the area to be fenced, with the survey pins exposed, goes in with it. The same form states the construction permit fee twice: a base fee of $30.00 plus ten cents for each linear foot, so what you pay depends on how long the fence is. It also states that the permit is valid for 180 days and that the fee is not refundable. (source)
