Since May 2016, the Village of Estero, Building Services Division, has collected Elevation Certificates from builders as a requirement prior to the issuance of a  Certificate of Occupancy, and from owners of substantially damaged or improved structures.

If the structure was built before May 2016 and you have never substantially improved or experienced substantial damage the property, you should contact  Lee County to obtain permit information. If  the County does not have an Elevation Certificate, you may have to hire a surveyor, or you can request a copy from the prior owner. Also, most lending institutions require both a property survey and an Elevation Certificate.
