Permit Costs and Requirements:

The cost of a permit varies depending on the type. We encourage you to consult our Fee Schedule for detailed information. It is crucial to obtain the necessary permits before commencing any work, as failure to do so may result in advisory notices, quadrupled fees for After the Fact permits, and potential fines.

Choosing a Contractor:

When hiring a contractor, always check references and verify their state license on the official state website (www.myflorida.com). Be cautious if a contractor asks you to secure the permit, as this may indicate they are not licensed, placing liability on the homeowner.

Processing Times:

Building permits are typically processed within 10-15 workdays, provided all required documents are submitted. Minor projects are usually addressed within 5 workdays. For certain projects like reroofs or a/c replacements, over-the-counter permits can be obtained more swiftly.

Digital Submissions:

We offer a digital portal for permit submissions. To utilize this, contractors must register their license and company, ensuring all documents are submitted as a single PDF packet. Insurance certificates must list the City of Marco Island as the certificate holder.

Permit Expiry and Extensions:

Permits are valid for 180 days from the issuance date. If work is not commenced or an inspection requested within this period, the permit becomes void. Extensions can be requested in writing, subject to approval.
