Roofing in Lehigh Acres
Lehigh Acres isn't a city, so Lee County Building and Permitting Services issues its roof permits. The county's fee schedule, effective April 15, 2026, assesses Roofing per structure: $25 for initial plan review, $25 for a resubmission and $100 for the structural inspection. A roofover or roof mitigation job, meaning a roof on top of a roof, is $50 for initial review, $25 for resubmission, $50 per required structural inspection and $100 roofing.
An add-on Roof In Progress (Tile) inspection is $50. Application, Technology and Operational Support fees apply to each application. The Roof Guide names the Eighth Edition (2023) Florida Building Code and Land Development Code Chapter 6. Residential applications come either from a contractor with a state license and a Lee County registration or with an Owner-Builder Declaration of Self-Use. Contractors file through eConnect. Only owner-builders can hand in paper. The office at 1500 Monroe Street, Fort Myers, answers 239-533-8585.
In a FEMA flood zone A or V, below the required elevation, the county's 50% Rule page says work costing 50% of the building's value or more may require bringing the structure up to current flood rules. ACS 2020-2024 figures show a median build year of 2003, with owners in 70.0 percent of occupied homes. Before a roofer starts, call county contractor licensing at 239-533-8895 to confirm the company is registered with Lee County.
