Source references checked 2026-10-04. How we check sources

Lee County's Permit Center tells applicants that work within Bonita Springs, Cape Coral, Estero, Fort Myers, Fort Myers Beach, or Sanibel may need to use the local jurisdiction. Lee County Community Development serves unincorporated County areas for its listed programs. Do not use a Fort Myers mailing address, ZIP code, parcel-appraiser label, or utility provider as proof of permitting jurisdiction. Confirm the exact site against current official city/county boundaries and with the responsible building or planning office before relying on a permit path. StartFL's Lee boundary resolver is not yet verified.
