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 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.
