The Extension Form is the City of Cape Coral form on which a permit applicant gives the permit number, the site address and the specific reason a job was not completed, so the city can record a new expiration date for the permit. It is one of the Cape Coral permit forms that apply to a permit already issued, not to a new application. On this page you can fill out the form online on FillingPDF and download or print the completed PDF. The original PDF is published by the city, and the form states that all documents must be uploaded through the EnerGov Customer Self Service portal (CSS).

What is Extension Form – Cape Coral, FL?
The Extension Form is a one-page City of Cape Coral form that an applicant completes to ask for more time on an existing permit, by identifying the permit and explaining in specific terms why the job was not completed.
The form carries the heading of the Department of Development Services, P.O. Box 150027, Cape Coral, FL 33915-0027, telephone (239) 574-0546. The City of Cape Coral Building Division is the agency listed for this document.
The applicant's part has six entries: Date, Permit #, Applicant Name, Site Address, Reason for job not completed (the form asks you to provide specific details) and Applicant Signature.
The lower part of the page is a FOR OFFICE USE ONLY block. It holds the Current Expiration Date and the New Expiration Date, an Approved By line and a Rejected By line, each with a date, entries marked 1st, 2nd, 3rd and 4th, a Fee entry and Staff Initials. City staff complete that block, not the applicant.
Because the form is built around a permit number and a current expiration date, it relates to a permit that already exists. It is not an application for a new permit. The revision printed on the form is "Revised 09/15/2026".
Who needs to file Extension Form – Cape Coral, FL?
The applicant on a City of Cape Coral permit whose job has not been completed uses this form to explain the reason and request an extension. The form asks for the applicant's name, the permit number and the site address, so it is completed for one permit at a time.
The applicant signs the form in the Applicant Signature line. The form does not say whether someone else may sign or act for the applicant, so ask the department at (239) 574-0546 if a representative will submit it.
Do not write in the FOR OFFICE USE ONLY block. It is reserved for city staff and contains the current and new expiration dates, the approval or rejection and the staff initials.
The form is not a permit application. Anyone who needs a new permit uses the city's permit application process rather than this form.
When to file Extension Form – Cape Coral, FL
Use the Extension Form when a job under a Cape Coral permit has not been completed and the permit's current expiration date needs to be extended. The form asks for the reason the job was not completed and records a current and a new expiration date. No separate deadline is printed on it, so confirm timing for your permit with the department at (239) 574-0546 before the current expiration date arrives. The form also shows entries marked 1st, 2nd, 3rd and 4th in the office-use block; ask the department what they mean for your permit.

Common mistakes to avoid
- Writing a vague explanation on the reason line; the form asks you to provide specific details of why the job was not completed.
- Writing in the FOR OFFICE USE ONLY block, which holds the expiration dates, approval or rejection, fee and staff initials for city staff.
- Leaving out the permit number, so the form cannot be tied to a specific permit.
- Submitting the form unsigned; the Applicant Signature line is part of the form.
- Sending the form some other way instead of uploading it through the EnerGov Customer Self Service portal, which the form says is required for all documents.
- Entering a mailing address instead of the site address on the Site Address line.
