Cape Coral building permits: the city's Self Service portal
Official portal: City of Cape Coral Self Service.

Cape Coral building permits are issued by the city, not Lee County. You search them in the City of Cape Coral's Self Service portal, where Search Public Records finds existing permits, plans, inspections, code cases and licenses. Contractors use that same portal for applications, inspection requests and invoices.
