Plumbing in Fort Myers
Fort Myers' over-the-counter permit list prints $150.00 for plumbing, whether new work in a single-family home or replacement, repair and alteration work. The printed total is $157.00. That adds $2.00 for the inspector trust, $2.00 for radon and $1.50 and $1.50 for technology, as the list itself shows. Irrigation and sprinklers are $95.00, total $102.00, and single-family fuel and gas is $150.00. The list isn't dated. The Permit Fees page says fees were revised 8/5/2025 under Resolution 2025-96, so the list may not be the revised one.
