Beta estimate from published county-level data — not yet from live Cleard pipeline data for Lee County specifically.

Why a screen enclosure permit takes 11–18 days in Lee County

Lee County is still processing permits tied to Hurricane Ian rebuilding alongside normal volume, with tightened enforcement of wind-load and flood-zone requirements introduced after the storm. Published sources disagree on total duration — one names a 15-business-day review target with first-round reviews taking 3–4 weeks, another names 6–12 weeks application to issuance — so the working estimate here uses the moderate-complexity baseline rather than either extreme.

What reviewers check on a screen enclosure submittal

Screen enclosures are reviewed primarily for wind-load rating on the frame and attachment details — typically a lighter review than a full structural package, which is why the range is shorter than a building permit in the same county.
