Tim, The North Dakota State University site below is the only decent source of free plans I've found. However, many of the plans on this site are old, and may not satisfy your building inspector. Here's my suggestion: You've got to buy the materials somewhere. Most of the major lumberyards will plug your requirements into their computer and spit out plans and a complete bill of materials. I got my kit from Carter Lumber. One thing that building inspectors is fussy about are trusses. Don't try building your own trusses; it's more aggravation than it's worth and the inspector will have a fit. Buy prefabbed trusses and ask the factory to give you a "sealed drawing", which is a drawing of the truss that's been signed off by a licensed Professional Engineer. That will make the inspector happy. Carter Lumber didn't provide me with an end view drawing of my post frame building, so I did have to sketch that up. It was no big deal, I just used the info from Carter and drew it up. One other thing: visit your building department before hand and tell them what kind of building (post frame or stick) that you want to build. They probably have some information about local codes to get you started.
