Building across Orange, Seminole, Brevard, Volusia, Lake, Indian River, St. Lucie, Charlotte, Sarasota & Lee counties
Mon–Fri 9–5
Eastern Homes builds new construction homes on land our buyers own, and Lee County is one of the counties we build in. If you have a lot in Fort Myers, or you are looking at one, we can tell you which of our fifteen single story plans fit it and what it would cost to build. This page covers the permit, utility and lot checks that apply in Fort Myers.
We do not have a home for sale in Fort Myers right now. Our nearest homes are in North Port, in Sarasota County. Our Available Homes page shows every home we have for sale, and you can sign up there to get an email when a new home is listed.
Send us the address or parcel number. We will tell you which of our plans fit the lot and what it would cost to build there. The lot evaluation is free.
Fort Myers is its own city inside Lee County. A lot inside city limits follows city rules for permits and utilities. A lot outside city limits follows Lee County rules. Here is how each part works, with a link to the office that handles it. Our nearest homes are in North Port.
The city’s Building, Permitting and Inspections Division on Hendry Street handles plan review, permits and inspections. You can apply for permits, check their status and pay fees online. We handle the permit for the homes we build.

These six checks tell you what you can build on a lot and what it may cost. Each one ends with a next step.
A map check or our lot evaluation is a first look. A survey, engineering, environmental review and permit approval still decide what can be built.
The cost of building on your land depends on your lot and your plan. These are the main parts of the cost:
What we need to give you an estimate: the address or parcel number of the lot. If you already have a plan or a size in mind, tell us that too. We price the site work for your lot separately from the house, so you can see both.
All fifteen of our plans are single story. These four are a good place to start. Which plans fit depends on your lot.
We will check the zoning, setbacks, minimum living area, flood zone, and utilities or well and septic. Then we will tell you which of our plans fit and what it would cost to build. You get a written answer. The evaluation is free, whether you already own the lot or are thinking about buying it.
Still looking for land? Tell us where you want to build and we will let you know when a lot comes up that fits.
