Substantial damage starts where restoring the structure would cost 50% of its market value. Its Building Division line is (239) 574-0546. Which Florida Building Code edition applies isn't stated on Cape Coral's pages. Three FEMA zones, A, AE and VE, meet Cape Coral's edge, as do evacuation zones A, B and C from a 2013 layer counties have since revised.
By ACS estimates, 2000 is Cape Coral's median year built. A residential policy issued from January 1, 2023 onward can't have its post-loss benefits assigned to a contractor. Inside the flood hazard area, replacing drywall, flooring or cabinets after water gets in still needs a remodel permit, and the substantial damage packet comes from FEMAPackets@capecoral.gov.
