Decision — first matching row wins
| # | When | Permit | Type | Reason |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | fire_wall is yes | yes | Building — Fire-Rated Assembly Repair | Repairs to a fire-separation wall (garage-to-house, duplex/townhome demising wall) must restore the rated assembly and are inspected — not covered by any minor-repair exemption. |
| 2 | drywall_sqft > 100 | conditional | Building Permit likely required above Lee's 100 sq ft threshold | Lee County's LDC §6-117 exempts 100 sq ft or less of drywall with no fire-separation wall involved; above that, or in Collier (no confirmed equivalent), treat as needing a permit pending reviewer confirmation. |
| 3 | otherwise | no | — | Attic insulation top-off is non-structural and not electrical/plumbing/mechanical — no permit. Drywall repair of 100 sq ft or less with no fire-rated wall involved is expressly listed as not requiring a permit in Lee County (LDC §6-117); Collier has no confirmed equivalent line but this is standard FBC §105.2 minor-repair territory. |
