What is SubContractor Form – Cape Coral, FL?
The SubContractor Form is a City of Cape Coral permitting form on which a registered sub-contractor names the primary contractor, identifies its company and license holder, checks its trade, lists the job site and agrees to follow city and Florida requirements.
The printed header belongs to the Department of Development Services (P.O. Box 150027, Cape Coral, FL 33915-0027, Tel. (239)574-0546), and the form is issued by the City of Cape Coral Building Division's permitting side. It is titled "SUB-CONTRACTOR FORM" and carries the revision note "Revised 09/15/2026".
The form collects:
- the primary contractor and the sub-contractor company name;
- the sub-contractor license holder's name and State Registration/State License #;
- the trade that applies: Electrical, Mechanical, Plumbing, Pool or Roofing;
- the permit number, if available, and the job site address, which is required.
Two statements are printed above the signature block. In the first, the license holder agrees to comply with the City of Cape Coral Building and Zoning requirements, the laws of the State of Florida and all regulations relating to plumbing, electrical, roofing, pool and air conditioning construction. In the second, the signer declares under penalties of perjury, citing FS 92.525, that the information is true and correct.
The city's Permit Document Center lists this form under Miscellaneous Documents, separate from the permit applications, guidelines and affidavits it also publishes. It is not a permit application and does not register a sub-contractor: registration is done beforehand by contacting the city.
Who needs to file SubContractor Form – Cape Coral, FL?
Sub-contractors working under a primary contractor on a Cape Coral permit in one of the five trades printed on the form (electrical, mechanical, plumbing, pool or roofing) use this form. The sub-contractor license holder fills in the company details, prints their name, signs and dates it.
The form states that sub-contractors must be registered with the City of Cape Coral. A sub-contractor who is not yet registered contacts [email protected] or 239-574-0870 to register.
The permit applicant also has a role: the form says all documents must be uploaded by the permit applicant to the Customer Self Service Portal (CSS). If you are the sub-contractor but not the permit applicant, give the signed form to the applicant for upload.
The form lists only the five trades above, so work in another trade is not covered by a check box on it. It prints no rules on representatives signing for the license holder; the declaration is signed by the sub-contractor license holder.
When to file SubContractor Form – Cape Coral, FL
The SubContractor Form accompanies a permit, so it is provided when the permit applicant uploads the permit's documents to the Customer Self Service Portal (CSS). It prints no deadline of its own.
Because the permit number line reads "if available", the form can be completed even when no permit number has been issued yet. The job site address is required either way, and the registration of the sub-contractor with the City of Cape Coral comes first, since the form states that sub-contractors must be registered. Check the revision date, printed as "Revised 09/15/2026", against the version the city currently publishes.
