What is Application for Plat Review – Cape Coral, FL?
The Application for Plat Review is the City of Cape Coral form that gives the Land Development Division the basic information it needs to process a plat application submitted online through the EnerGov/CSS portal.
The form identifies the plat and the project. It asks for the plat number, the STRAP number (with a list attached when there are several), the type of plat submittal (Preliminary or Mylar), the PDP (Planned Development Project) number, the SDP (Site Development Plan) number, the project name, and the number of lots, tracts and acres. It also records the name and contact details of the agent and the utility service providers for electric, natural gas, telephone and cable TV.
The city's Land Development Division, part of the Department of Development Services, lists plat review among the permit types it processes. The form asks you to provide all items on the submittal checklist along with this information, so that the review can be timely. It is a cover form for the plat submittal and does not replace those checklist items or the written utility approvals described on the form.
Who needs to file Application for Plat Review – Cape Coral, FL?
The professional who submits a plat application to the City of Cape Coral completes this form. The form states that this person must be a Registered Engineer or Surveyor with the City of Cape Coral.
- Applicants submitting a Preliminary plat or a Mylar plat use the same form and mark the type of submittal.
- Applicants whose plat covers several STRAP numbers attach a list of them.

It does not describe filing on behalf of the applicant by anyone other than the submitting professional, and it does not say who else may sign. For questions about whether your project needs plat review, the form directs you to the Land Development Division.
