CAPE CORAL, Fla. — Starting Monday, Cape Coral Permitting Counter is no longer taking walk-in appointments. The City of Cape Coral said it’s not because of an increase in requests. It’s to help you skip the line, and maybe even a trip to City Hall.
Melissa Mickey is the Communications Manager for the City of Cape Coral. She said the city is making this change to point more people to its website. Booking an appointment in advance will also decrease wait times.

“Honestly you could come in one day of the week where you just get lucky…and other times there’s a wait.”
