Building permits issued this week, by area
Updated 2026-09-22. Every page here is rebuilt on Mondays. Lee County publishes its permit report once a week, so the Lee County pages cover the previous county week; Cape Coral refreshes its open-data table nightly and its pages cover the most recent full Sunday-to-Saturday week; the four city pages are built from daily open data and cover the seven days before the rebuild, so the date windows differ.
Who pulled a building permit near you this week? These pages answer it from the public record: how many permits were issued, what kind, where, which contractors pulled the most, and the largest projects by declared value. The Lee County and Cape Coral pages list every permit of the week in full.
