Why Permits Are Required for Tiki Huts in Cape Coral
Florida building codes require permits for any permanent structure, including tiki huts. In Cape Coral, this means your tiki hut must meet wind load requirements, setback rules, and structural standards set by Lee County. A permitted tiki hut is also covered by your homeowner's insurance — an unpermitted one likely isn't, which matters a lot after a hurricane.
