Questions
How often is the Lee County, Florida permit list updated?
Every Monday. This page covers permits issued between 8/30/2026 to 9/5/2026 and was last rebuilt on 2026-09-11. The source is Lee County Community Development weekly "Building Permits Issued" reports.
Where does the data come from?
Directly from the public record: Lee County Community Development weekly "Building Permits Issued" reports. Nothing is estimated; counts and values are exactly what the issuing department published. Permits with no declared value are counted but excluded from value totals.
Can I get this list with the property owner's mailing address and an absentee-owner flag?
Yes, that is the paid weekly report: the same permits for your ZIPs or farm area, joined to the county parcel record so you see the owner's mailing address, whether the owner lives there, the last sale, and the contractor. One buyer per area. Email [email protected] or use the form on the home page.
Are these all the permits issued?
Everything the source published for the period at build time, up to 247 records. Cities sometimes backfill permits days later, so next week's page can include stragglers from this one.
Public record, republished as published. PermitRadar adds counts and ranking only; nothing on this page is estimated. Owner names and mailing addresses are deliberately not shown here; they are in the paid report, joined from the county parcel record.
