Private Provider Permits in Lee County
Lee County follows the statewide §553.791 private provider timelines. As a coastal county with significant hurricane-mitigation and wind-load requirements under the Florida Building Code, private provider review here often involves more technical back-and-forth on structural compliance than in inland counties, which makes accurate revision tracking especially important.
A first revision receives the remainder of the original tolled time plus 5 business days; every revision after that runs its own 5-business-day clock. In a coastal county where wind-load and impact-resistance comments are common, tracking exactly which revision cycle a project is on, and holding the building department to the correct clock for that cycle, is one of the most common points of dispute.
