The Town of Fort Myers Beach is working hard to ensure the permitting process is smooth for our residents and business owners. Please see below for a list of items you do NOT need a permit for:

• Floor covering such as tile or carpet
• Minor cabinetry which does not include any electrical or plumbing fixtures
• Painting
• Portable heating or cooling appliances

Although you do not need to pull a permit for these items will need to submit a cost backup worksheet. IT IS A FEMA REQUIREMENT THAT ALL COSTS ASSOCIATED WITH ANY REPAIR OR IMPROVEMENT TO AN EXISTING STRUCTURE MUST HAVE A COST SHEET SUBMITTED REGARDLESS OF THE AMOUNT.

Cost backup worksheet is available for print (page 14 of 15): Residential-Application-Fillable-07-16-24 (fortmyersbeachfl.gov)
