Customer Reviews about Cape Coral Building Permits:

  By far and away the worst municipal permitting department in SWFL. It seems to mostly take at least 45 minutes to 1 hour just to get your name called. Heaven forbid your application is missing anything. For the record, I don't think it's the folks that work out front. Someone higher level has created this mess but if you want to build in CC, be prepared to wait and wait and wait.

  This is the sort of entity where the only time you leave a review for them, is if you have something negative to say. I have had a professional relationship with the City of Cape Coral's building dept for several years and have been a cape coral resident for my entire life. For some reason, people are under the impression that this department is difficult to work with, un-organized, and slow. There is also a consensus that this department is difficult to get a permit through. I assure you that compared to other departments, this is NOT the case. Compared to other building departments, the City of Cape Coral is very easy to work with and generally very responsive. If you think the City of Cape Coral is difficult, then you must not have worked anywhere in Collier County or the City of Fort Myers. I will admit they have been known to be under-staffed but this is not the fault of the building department, as any new position or hire has to be approved by the City Council. It should be known however that if you do not regularly deal with the building department and you are pulling a permit, you're probably going to waste a lot of time going to the wrong places and eventually will be frustrated which is the case with ANY building department. If you're trying to pull a permit and you take what you think you need to the building department, stand in line for an hour, and then get sent somewhere else, thats not their fault. Its best to call the building department, ask what you need over the phone, and then ask them exactly where to go once you get there. These departments are set up for contractors who make up 98% of the people that go in there. Cape Coral also has a great eTrakit system that is by far head & shoulders better then any permit tracking system that other building departments use. This system is easy to navigate and allows you to find anything using a site address.
