Public Portal Update:

GMCD has implemented a new feature on the Public Portal

The department’s goal is to improve the user experience with the following changes to contact information requirements. New requirements when electronically applying for a building permit, applicants must select the licensed qualifier after the contractor is selected at the “Contacts” step. The Public Portal will display a list of the available qualifiers and the applicant must pick one before moving forward.

I. Select the contractor.

II. Select the licensed qualifier.

III. If the licensed qualifier isn’t listed:

A. Verify the correct contractor was selected; and/or

B. The contractor license record is missing qualifier information.

Contact Contractor Licensing at (239) 252-2400 to resolve.

**If the “Applicant” does not see the correct qualifier listed, either the wrong contractor is selected, or the contractor license record is missing the qualifier information. If the qualifier information is missing, the contractor will need to contact the Contractor Licensing Section to have their license updated. Self-Issuing permits require adding a contractor and qualifier.

For general questions, contact GMCD customer service at (239) 252-2400. For training questions, contact Management Analyst Dianna Perryman at (239) 252-2965 or by email at GMDTraining@colliercountyfl.gov.

City of Naples Council Meetings: Summer Recess

Fill Requirements in the City of Naples To Be Determined

on a Case-by-Case Basis Moving Forward

A CBIA Task Force was convened to work with City Building Official, Steve Beckman, to focus on fill requirements in the City of Naples. Based on professional input from our task force members, the City of Naples building department will determine to fill requirements on a case–by–case basis moving forward.

Individual determinations will be based upon several criteria including adjacent properties which raised the question of obtaining topographic surveys on these properties. We will work with Steve Beckman and his team to determine a way forward surveying adjacent properties.

Also, another issue brought up in our meetings was the inability for professionals to review elevation certificates. As shared by Steve Beckman and Bob Dorta, the city is now able to provide elevation certificates on any property within the city through their new program entitled forerunner.
