Bonita Springs code enforcement complaints
City desk. Not Lee County.
Inside city limits, Bonita Springs code complaints go to the City’s Neighborhood Services Department.
SNITCH is a private filing service, not the City. We file as complainant of record. Your name stays off the complaint.
Compliant with Florida SB 60.
Filed with Bonita Springs Neighborhood Services under our name.
Fear of Retaliation
Bonita Springs puts it this way: “Please add your address in the description field or an officer cannot initiate an investigation.” File it yourself and that record is public under Chapter 119.
Who Handles It
Inside Bonita Springs: Bonita Springs Neighborhood Services. Unincorporated Lee: Lee County Code Enforcement. Other cities run their own desks.
Agent Filing Rules
We file under our name with the desk that owns the address. If that shop bounces a third-party complainant, that filing does not sit there.
"SNITCH cuts through red tape—handling your code complaints professionally, safely, and always in compliance with Florida law.
- Chaz Stevens, Chief Snitch
We file the real ones.
We reject the rest.
City code. Not a grudge.
Every submission is checked against the Bonita Springs code, including Chapter 2, Article V, Code Enforcement. Hearsay, neighbor wars, and junk filings do not go out. A false complaint is on the client.
Issues Bonita Springs highlights: rental permit and inspection for non-owner-occupied rentals, grass and weeds over 16 inches, invasive exotic plants on lots, and commercial vehicles over 12,000 lbs in residential areas.
FL SB 60
Why It Matters
SB 60 DID NOT END BONITA SPRINGS COMPLAINTS
Florida law requires a name and address before most code investigations start. File direct with Bonita Springs Neighborhood Services and that name is public. SNITCH files as complainant of record.
Compliant filing. Our name on the paper.
See something. File it without becoming the file.
FAQS
Who handles code enforcement in Bonita Springs?
The City of Bonita Springs Neighborhood Services Department. Call (239) 949-6257. Online, use Citizen Request (Ready311).
Is my address Bonita Springs or Lee County?
Bonita Springs handles addresses inside its city limits. Unincorporated Lee goes to Lee County Code Enforcement at (239) 533-8895. A Bonita Springs mailing address is not always inside the city.
Do I need a rental permit to rent my home in Bonita Springs?
Yes. Owners renting a non-owner-occupied single-family, duplex or multi-family unit, short- or long-term, need a city rental permit ($100 per unit, valid three years) and a code officer inspection against the International Property Maintenance Code; complexes of six or more units under a state-recognized association are exempt.
Can I report a code violation in Bonita Springs anonymously?
Not to the city. Bonita Springs says: “Please add your address in the description field or an officer cannot initiate an investigation.” SNITCH is not anonymous either: we file under our own name as complainant of record, so yours stays off the complaint.
What happens if a violation is not fixed?
Unresolved Bonita Springs code cases go before a Code Enforcement Hearing Examiner.
Is my name on the complaint? What if a desk will not take an agent filing? Our FAQs answer both.
