Permit Fee Study for Development Services and Fire Prevention Fees

The City of Cape Coral is seeking qualified consultants to conduct a comprehensive study of its permit fees for development services and fire prevention. The objective is to analyze current fee structures, benchmark against comparable municipalities, and provide recommendations for fee adjustments that support municipal revenue goals while maintaining fairness to developers. This effort will result in a detailed report, financial models, and implementation guidance for the City’s finance and planning departments. • Conduct data collection on existing development and fire‑prevention permit fees. • Benchmark fees against peer cities and industry standards. • Develop financial models to project revenue impacts of proposed fee changes. • Deliver a final report with actionable recommendations and implementation steps.
