Florida's gopher tortoise is a protected species that commonly inhabits upland scrub habitats throughout Lee County. Before clearing, a gopher tortoise survey must be conducted. We arrange surveys and handle required permits if tortoises are found.
Land clearing in Southwest Florida often involves removal of native vegetation including slash pine, saw palmetto, cabbage palm, Brazilian pepper, and melaleuca. The mix of native and invasive species affects both the clearing approach and permitting requirements.

Common questions about land clearing in Lee County.
Yes. The Lee County Land Development Code regulates the removal of native vegetation. Before clearing, you typically need to submit a Vegetation Removal Permit application to Lee County's Development Services department. We handle the permit application and any required environmental reviews.
A gopher tortoise survey must be conducted before clearing. If burrows are found, a licensed agent relocates them under Florida Fish and Wildlife Commission guidelines. We arrange and coordinate this process.
Cleared vegetation must be managed appropriately. Options include on-site mulching, chipping and hauling, open burning, or off-site disposal. We discuss your preferences and site constraints to choose the best option.
If your property contains or borders wetlands, additional environmental review is needed. The South Florida Water Management District and potentially the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers may need to issue permits. We coordinate with these agencies to ensure compliance.
Property owners who wish to remove trees from agriculturally zoned property for bona fide agricultural use must obtain a Notice of Clearing from Environmental Sciences. Documentation verifying intent to use the property for agricultural purposes must be included. We prepare and file this documentation.
Always check with your HOA and local municipality before starting clearing work. Many communities in Cape Coral, Estero, and Bonita Springs have additional requirements beyond county rules. We can help you navigate both.
