Work inside the City of Fort Myers is permitted by the city's Building, Permitting & Inspections division, while unincorporated Lee County (and neighbors like Cape Coral) run through Lee County's Department of Community Development and its Accela Citizen Access portal - so the first step is confirming which authority holds your record. Both adopt the Florida Building Code and, under Florida Statute 553.791, let a licensed private provider handle plan review and inspections in place of staff. After Hurricane Ian's 2022 permit surge, Lee County has largely cleared the backlog, with typical residential reviews now running a few weeks.
Southwest Florida is hurricane-exposed and heavily flood-zoned. Much of the region sits in FEMA Special Flood Hazard Areas, some remapped after Ian, so base-flood elevation and the cumulative 50%-of-value 'substantial improvement' rule frequently reshape repairs and renovations, and the wind-borne debris region drives opening-protection and product-approval requirements. Post-storm work is exactly where open permits, expired permits, and unpermitted repairs pile up, and where Palma's coordination keeps a project moving to a clean closeout.
