Lee County Department of Community Development will operate a temporary, remote permit office from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. Oct. 31 at Railroad Plaza, 480 E. Railroad, Unit 6, on Boca Grande.
Remote locations have staff readily accessible to help residents navigate the permit process. The last customer sign-in for each location is at 2:30 p.m.
Residents must live in this area to use the temporary location. Residents acting as their own contractors can submit permit applications, have them reviewed and, in some cases, issued from the remote office. The applicants need their address, a description of the damage, an estimated cost to repair, material cost documentation and, if available, a floor plan.
Hired contractors are asked to continue to use the existing electronic permitting process. Residents seeking a full demolition or complete structure replacement must visit the main Department of Community Development permitting office, 1500 Monroe St. in Fort Myers, for a permit.
