What is F-DCD-2020?
The Road Impact Fee Credits Use Form (Form F-DCD-2020), printed as "Request For Use Road Impact Fee Credits", is the City of Cape Coral form on which an applicant asks to use road impact fee credits toward a listed commercial or residential project.
The form is one page. At the top you mark Commercial or Residential, then give your name, telephone and address, the Amount to be used, the Permit #, the Project applied to and the Block and Lot. A printed statement then reads: "I hereby request to use the aforementioned Road Impact Fee Credits toward the listed project." The applicant signs on the Authorized Signature line and prints or types the name.
Below the signature is a notary block headed STATE OF FL / COUNTY OF LEE, which records that the signature was subscribed and sworn to (or affirmed) before the notary, who was either personally acquainted with the signer or was shown identification. The last block, Department of Community Development Authorization, has lines for a printed name, title, date and signature.
The City of Cape Coral lists the form in its Permit Document Center under Miscellaneous Documents, as "Road Impact Fee Credits Use Form", with the revision date 4/26/2010. The form's footer shows F-DCD-2020 rev D. The same list shows a separate document, the Transfer Request Road Impact Fee Credits Form, which is a different form from this one.
Who needs to file F-DCD-2020?
People who hold road impact fee credits in the City of Cape Coral and want to use them toward a specific project complete this form. It covers both kinds of project: you mark Commercial or Residential at the top.
The form asks for the name, telephone and address of the person making the request, the amount to be used, the permit number, the project and its block and lot. The request is signed on the Authorized Signature line, with the name printed or typed, and the signature is sworn or affirmed before a notary public in the State of FL, County of Lee block.
Do not confuse this form with the Transfer Request Road Impact Fee Credits Form, which the city's Permit Document Center lists as a separate document. This form is a request to use credits toward a listed project.
The form does not say who may sign for a company or for another person, or what proof of authority is needed. Ask the Building Division before anyone other than the credit holder signs.
When to file F-DCD-2020
Complete the form when you want to use road impact fee credits toward a particular project, because it asks for that project, its permit number, its block and lot and the amount of credits to be used. Have the permit number ready first.
The form prints no due date, filing window or expiration period, and it gives no processing time. Because the signature must be subscribed and sworn (or affirmed) before a notary public, plan to sign it at the notary's office or in the notary's presence rather than ahead of time. For timing questions tied to your permit or your credits, ask the City of Cape Coral Building Division.
Documents you need
- Identification for the notary, if the notary does not know you personally: the form records whether you are "personally known or produced" identification, so bring it to the notarization.

Common mistakes to avoid
- Leaving both the Commercial and Residential boxes unmarked at the top of the form.
- Signing before you are in front of the notary; the block states the signature is subscribed and sworn to (or affirmed) before the notary.
- Leaving out the Permit #, the Project applied to, or the Block and Lot, which the form asks for to identify where the credits go.
- Skipping the printed or typed name under the Authorized Signature line; the form says to print or type it.
- Filling in the notary's signature, printed name, commission number or expiration date yourself; those lines belong to the notary.
- Filling in the Department of Community Development Authorization block, which is labeled as the department's authorization, not the applicant's.
- Using this form when you need the separate Transfer Request Road Impact Fee Credits Form the city lists next to it.
