Coastal Work, Rebuilding & Permit Closeout
For Captiva renovations and rebuilding, we organize the work description, existing permit information and supporting plans with the project team. We check applicable floodplain and coastal documentation early, manage review comments and track the steps needed for inspections and closeout.
Environmental Review & Asbestos Surveys
Lee County Environmental Sciences reviews applicable vegetation and wildlife requirements for unincorporated areas, including Captiva. Coastal work may involve additional approvals and supporting documents. We check the parcel and scope before assembling the permit package.
We work with licensed asbestos consultants to arrange surveys and with abatement contractors when removal is needed, coordinating the required paperwork with the permit process.
Florida DEP’s South District handles the asbestos regulatory program for Lee County. We check applicable survey and notification paperwork for demolition or renovation. See the official DEP asbestos guidance for project-specific requirements.
Frequently Asked Questions
Does Captiva use Sanibel’s building department?
Captiva projects under County jurisdiction use Lee County’s permitting process. Sanibel has a separate municipal building department. We verify the parcel rather than relying on an island name or mailing address.
Where are Captiva permit applications submitted?
Lee County’s eConnect portal handles electronic applications, uploads, fees and permit tracking. The County provides current guides for each permit type and account requirements.
Do you help with expired or open permits in Captiva?
Yes. We research the permit record and outstanding items, identify the next required steps and manage documents, corrections and inspection scheduling with the project team.
What if work was done without a permit?
We research available permit and code violation records, identify the work requiring an after-the-fact application and manage the filing and review process. Any required plans and technical corrections come from the responsible licensed professionals.
Do I need a permit for renovations in Captiva?
Permit requirements depend on the proposed work and the property’s jurisdiction. Zone Permitting reviews the project address and scope, checks the applicable building department’s requirements and identifies the applications and supporting documents needed for the work.
