Debris collection continues; Fust Library to reopen Wednesday

Lee County Community Development staff is assessing damage to structures throughout unincorporated Lee County, including Boca Grande. Building inspectors and code enforcement officers are performing mandatory damage-assessment duties.

Debris collection continues today. As residents place debris out for collection, remember:

Any unincorporated Lee County residents or businesses within the Special Flood Hazard Area with any damage to their homes or businesses, including water intrusion, must obtain a permit for all repairs (residents do not need a permit for any immediate cleanup). Email FIRMinfo@leegov.com for assistance with permit requirements and resources, and be sure to include the following information:

• Contact information
• Property address
• Type of damage
• Height of the water that entered the home

Residents also can find more information at leegov.com/dcd/BldPermitServ/disaster-recovery.
