Estero Builders Checklist

What is a Development Order?
A Development Order is "a document issued by the county development review director granting approval of the development based upon the submittal of the application for a development order, plans for development, plats and all other documentation as applicable and required by [Section 10-1 of the Land Development Code]."

All construction in Lee County requires a Development Order EXCEPT: The construction of a single family home or duplex, and/or its accessories buildings or structures; or bona fide agricultural.

To clarify your case, you should call the Lee County at (239) 533-8329 or visit their web site, rather than contacting the EDRC. Chapter 33 of the Land Development Code also discusses development orders in the Estero Planning Boundary.
