Permits in Naples.
Naples is the jurisdiction where a single headline review figure misleads most. The building-code clock and the departmental reviews are different things running in parallel.
What is different about Naples
- All building permit applications must be entered electronically through the city's public portal.
- The Florida Building Code review period and the parallel departmental reviews are separate stages. Treating the code figure as the whole turnaround is the most common planning error here.
- Utilities, Floodplain, Planning, Streets and Stormwater, and Right of Way can each return comments independently.
Review times
Florida Building Code compliance review runs to a 20-business-day statutory period per the city's own e-permitting materials. That period does not include the parallel departmental reviews (Utilities, Floodplain, Planning, Streets and Stormwater, and Right of Way), which run alongside it.
Review times, fee schedules, forms and portals change, sometimes on a specific effective date. Everything on this page was verified on September 1, 2026. Confirm anything load-bearing with the department before you rely on it.
