What is Extension Request – Cape Coral, FL?
The Extension Request is a one-page City of Cape Coral form on which a permit applicant asks for more time to finish a job that has not been completed under a permit. It identifies the permit, the site and the reason for the delay, and city staff then record the permit's current and new expiration dates.
The applicant completes the top of the page: Date, Permit #, Applicant Name, Site Address, Reason for job not completed (the form asks you to provide specific details) and Applicant Signature. The block marked FOR OFFICE USE ONLY belongs to staff. It holds Current Expiration Date, New Expiration Date, Approved By and Rejected By (each with a date), lines labeled 1st, 2nd, 3rd and 4th, Fee and Staff Initials.
The header names the Department of Development Services, P.O. Box 150027, Cape Coral, FL 33915-0027, Tel. (239) 574-0546, and states that all documents must be uploaded via the EnerGov Customer Self Service portal (CSS).
The city lists the Extension Request under Miscellaneous Documents in its Permit Document Center, next to other permit paperwork such as the Cancellation Form-Permit, the Revision Form and the Early Start Request. Permit applications are separate documents in that center; this form does not apply for a permit.
Who needs to file Extension Request – Cape Coral, FL?
Applicants who hold a permit from the City of Cape Coral and whose job is not completed use this form to request an extension. The form asks for the permit number, the site address and the specific reason the job is not completed, so it applies to a particular permit and a particular site.
- The applicant signs the form on the Applicant Signature line. The form prints no separate line for a representative or agent, so ask the department at (239) 574-0546 if someone else will act for you.
- City staff, not the applicant, complete the FOR OFFICE USE ONLY block.
The form is not a permit application and does not start a new permit. The city's Permit Document Center lists separate application forms for each type of work.
