Lee County Land Use Hearing

Lee County Land Use Hearing

Welcome to the official website of the Lee County Land Use Hearing, a vital component of the local government office located at 1500 Monroe Street, Fort Myers, Florida 33901, United States. Our mission is to facilitate fair and transparent hearings on land use and zoning matters within Lee County.

Our hearings are conducted by a Hearing Examiner and are quasi-judicial in nature, meaning they are similar to court proceedings. This ensures that all cases are handled with the utmost integrity and adherence to legal protocols. In accordance with the County Land Development Code, our Hearing Examiner is prohibited from discussing cases outside of a public hearing, ensuring impartiality and fairness in all deliberations.

We encourage public participation in our zoning hearings, providing a platform for community members to voice their opinions and contribute to the decision-making process. To learn more about how you can participate, please explore our Public Participation Guide available on our website.

Please note that Lee County regulations strictly prohibit ex parte communications with the Hearing Examiners or their staff on pending zoning matters. This policy is in place to maintain the integrity and impartiality of our proceedings.

We are committed to serving the residents of Lee County with transparency, fairness, and respect for the community's growth and development needs. For more information on upcoming hearings and how to get involved, please visit our website or contact us directly.

Thank you for your interest and participation in shaping the future of Lee County.
