B. Building Permil or Land Alteration Permit.

Special Magistrate Hearing · 2026-05-01 · agenda_item

This notice concerns the process for obtaining building permits or land alteration permits in Collier County. The County Manager or a designee reviews applications to ensure they meet zoning and land development rules before a permit is issued. A land alteration permit is needed for any work that changes the land, even if a building permit is not required. This includes permits for clearing, excavation, site development plans, agricultural clearing, and blasting. No building or land alteration can happen without the correct permits, inspections, and occupancy certificates. The County Manager approves permits only if they follow the code, unless there is a written order from the Board of Zoning Appeals or a court. This process is currently under review. Contractors, suppliers, and service providers should engage early to understand permit requirements and potential project scopes as this review progresses. Early involvement can provide an advantage before specific site plans, bids, and permits are finalized.
