2004 City Ad copy contributed by a Fort Myers garage apartment owner, whose garage apartment was “grandfathered in”, by paying the $50 license fee annually since 2004.

The following documents are from the 2004 previous Ordinance 3187, now retooled as Ordinance 3883 (adopted Jan. 6, 2020). {https://library.municode.com/fl/fort_myers/ordinances/code_of_ordinances?nodeId=998532} Chapter 98 governs “grandfathered-in” detached/garage apartments as rentals (“accessory dwelling units”, or ADU’s, now re-termed “guest houses”) in single-family neighborhoods. This Ordinance, still in effect, was a one-time measure that established legal rental status from that time on. If the registration was not completed by the property owner in 2004, the legal rental status was NOT established. To continue the legal rental status, the current owner would need to renew and pay the annual licensing fee each year without fail. For reference:
