Lee County code enforcement complaints
County desk or city desk. We sort it.
Unincorporated Lee goes to Lee County Code Enforcement. Inside its 6 cities and towns, the local government’s own code office takes the complaint.
SNITCH is a private filing service, not the County. We file as complainant of record. Your name stays off the complaint.
Compliant with Florida SB 60.
Filed with the Lee desk that owns the address, under our name.
Fear of Retaliation
Lee County puts it this way: “Under Florida Statute 125.69, anyone reporting a potential code violation must provide their full name and address, which will become part of the public record and may be disclosed upon request.” File it yourself and that record is public under Chapter 119.
Who Handles It
Unincorporated Lee: Lee County Code Enforcement. Inside city limits: that city’s code office, including Bonita Springs, Cape Coral, Estero, Fort Myers, and Fort Myers Beach. The address decides.
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.
County or city code. Not a grudge.
Every submission is checked against the Lee County code, including Land Development Code, Chapter 2, Article VII, Hearing Examiner, or the city code when a city owns the address. Hearsay, neighbor wars, and junk filings do not go out. A false complaint is on the client.
Issues Lee County highlights: nuisance accumulation, overgrown grass or vegetation, swimming pools in disrepair, and building without permits.
FL SB 60
Why It Matters
SB 60 DID NOT END LEE COUNTY COMPLAINTS
Florida law requires a name and address before most code investigations start, at the county and in every Lee city. File direct 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.
