Step by step

How to search solar permits in Lee County.

Start with the permitting authority for the property's address. Use the county portal for unincorporated Lee County and the city source for Cape Coral, Fort Myers, Bonita Springs or Sanibel records. A code case or zoning application is a different record from an issued building permit.

    Match the property address to the office that issues its solar permits: Lee County Community Development, City of Cape Coral or City of Fort Myers or another local office.

  2. Filter the feed to solar

    Open the Permit Press feed for each covered source with the Solar trade filter, then narrow by city, status, or reported value.

  3. Check the record at the official source

    Look up the permit number or address in Lee County eConnect permit search for current status, inspections, and documents.

  4. Save the search for solar alerts

    Save the filtered search and Permit Press emails new Lee County solar permits as they are collected. Verify each record with the issuing agency before acting.

Permit Press files a permit under Solar when its source type or description mentions "solar", "photovoltaic" or "PV", unless a more specific trade matches first, or when the source itself labels the trade.

Does a solar permit record prove the work was approved or finished?

No. A record shows what the source published when Permit Press collected it. Check the status, inspections, and final approval with the issuing office before relying on it, and do not treat a record as permission to contact a property owner.
