Remodeling in Lehigh Acres: What to Know
Lehigh Acres is mostly single-family homes on quarter-acre and half-acre lots, many built from the 1980s through the 2000s. Room additions, garage conversions, in-law suites and kitchen and bath updates are the most common projects, and the larger lots leave room to add on.
Permits and the 50% Rule
Permits are issued by Lee County Building and Permitting Services (Lehigh Acres is unincorporated). If your home is in a FEMA flood zone below the required elevation, projects that cost 50% or more of the structure value generally require bringing the whole home up to current flood rules. Screen your project with our 50% rule calculator, or let us handle it through our permitting and consulting service.

Do you do kitchen and bathroom remodels?
Yes. We handle kitchen and bathroom remodels from design through final inspection.
