Bonita Springs FAQ

Common questions about permits, flood compliance, and construction in Bonita Springs.

How did Hurricane Ian impact Bonita Springs?

Hurricane Ian caused significant flooding in Bonita Springs — particularly in coastal neighborhoods near Estero Bay, the Imperial River corridor, and Little Hickory Island. Many properties received substantial damage determinations requiring elevation. Post-Ian recovery and reconstruction continue to drive permit and compliance activity.

What flood zones affect Bonita Springs?

Bonita Springs has Zone AE throughout the Imperial River and Estero Bay watersheds, Zone VE along Gulf-adjacent and Estero Bay coastal areas, and Zone X further inland. Approximately 38% of properties are in the SFHA. Individual flood zone verification is important before any major renovation.

Does MKC handle permits with the City of Bonita Springs?

Yes. Bonita Springs is incorporated with its own Building Department. MKC manages permits directly with the City of Bonita Springs and coordinates Lee County permits for projects in unincorporated areas of the community.

Can MKC elevate a Bonita Springs home after Ian?

Yes. MKC manages the full home elevation process — structural engineering, permits, and construction — for post-Ian Bonita Springs properties. We coordinate with the city's substantial damage process and manage all required FEMA compliance.

Beyond flood compliance, MKC handles residential renovations, additions, commercial buildouts, engineering services, and general contracting throughout Bonita Springs and the broader Lee/Collier County border area.
