About each permit
Well Permit (Natural Resources Division)
A business that drills, replaces or repairs a well, including a commercial supply well, a fire-protection well or a geothermal well, needs a well permit from the Lee County Natural Resources Division. The figures here are as published on the Division's live Well Permitting Fees page, headed "New Fees 02-1-18" (February 1, 2018), which is the most recent schedule the page shows. Commercial and residential wells are priced separately, wells serving public water systems are $500 per well, and monitor wells and test borings carry their own fees. Community Development's Building Permit Fee Schedule states that its April 15, 2026 fee updates do not affect Natural Resources well permits, so this well schedule stands on its own. The page links to an online payment portal for these fees.
