2. Search the official source: Open Town of Fort Myers Beach permit portal (iWorQ) and search by street address, permit number, or contractor where the portal offers those fields.
3. Compare covered records: Use the Permit Press Fort Myers Beach feed to filter covered Fort Myers Beach records by trade, status, date, and reported value, across every covered source in Lee County.
