We clear overgrown lots and correct violations to the deadline on your notice — so the fines stop and the property passes re-inspection.
Lot mowing and overgrowth in unincorporated Lee County is governed by Ordinance 14-08. Properties inside Fort Myers city limits fall under the city's own code, so the first thing worth confirming is which authority actually issued your notice.
Enforcement here runs through the Lee County Code Enforcement. The first practical step is confirming which authority issued your notice, because the standard and the correction window are not the same everywhere in Southwest Florida.
Summarised from Lee County — Code Enforcement. Ordinances change — confirm current requirements with the Lee County Code Enforcement for your specific property.
Find the correction date on the notice. That date, not the violation, is what drives everything.
Photograph the notice and text or email it. We scope to exactly what is being cited — nothing padded.
Overgrowth cut back, brush and debris hauled off, edges tidied so it reads as maintained.
Photos and records for your file and for re-inspection — useful if you are contesting fines.
Check the letterhead. Lee County Code Enforcement covers unincorporated areas; property inside Fort Myers city limits falls under the city. The correction requirements and contacts differ, so confirm before responding.
Sometimes. Lee County has a Lien Mitigation Request Form, and fines can be reduced once the violation is corrected. But liens from the county abating the work — mowing, nuisance removal, demolition — cannot be mitigated by the Hearing Examiner.

Usually within days for straightforward clearing. Send us the notice and we will tell you honestly whether the correction date is achievable.
