❓We only replaced drywall. Why do I need a permit?
- Summary: Permits are required due to Unincorporated Lee County's participation in the National Flood Insurance Program (NFIP).
- Detailed Explanation: Unincorporated Lee County participates in the National Flood Insurance Program (NFIP), which makes federal flood insurance, disaster assistance, and federally backed loans and grants available to our community. Under NFIP rules, if improvements or repairs to a structure in the Special Flood Hazard Area (zones starting with A or V) cost 50% or more of its value, the structure must be brought into full compliance with current flood regulations. Lee County determines this based on information provided in the building permit application. More information may be found here https://www.leegov.com/dcd/flood/building/improvements.
