Parts of the county, especially areas near the coast, fall in the Florida Building Code's wind-borne debris region, where new construction needs impact-rated openings or shutters. Your building department can confirm whether a given address is inside it.
Homes built or re-roofed after the statewide Florida Building Code took effect in 2002 tend to document better on a wind mitigation report; older homes may need a 4-point inspection.
What should Estero homeowners know about local risk?
Incorporated in 2014, on Estero Bay between Fort Myers and Bonita Springs.
Two homes a mile apart here can price very differently because of elevation, construction year and roof documentation.
