Turn Your Backyard Into a Profit Center—Without the Permitting Nightmares.
Whether you want to build an ADU, park a Tiny Home on Wheels, or launch an Airbnb, local zoning laws are designed to stop you. Naples AD handles the red tape, design, and city approvals so you can build legally and profitably in Naples and Collier County.
Don’t Let Red Tape Kill Your Investment
Adding an Accessory Dwelling Unit (ADU) or a Tiny Home to your property is the smartest way to generate rental income or house family. But one wrong move with the building department can cost you thousands.
City vs. County Rules
The City of Naples heavily restricts short-term rentals (30-day minimums, max 3 exceptions/year), but unincorporated Collier County allows them with a simple $50 registration and state DBPR license. We know exactly where the lines are drawn.
Florida Building Code (FBC) Hurdles
Squeezing a structure through strict FBC hurricane codes, minimum 6’8″ ceiling heights, and maximum 400 sq. ft. limits requires specialized engineering.
Zoning Traps for Wheels
Parking an RV or Tiny Home on Wheels (THOW) without the right permits is a one-way ticket to daily code enforcement fines.
Your Blueprint to a Legal Build in 3 Steps
The Feasibility Assessment
We come to your property in Naples/Collier County, measure setbacks, check utility tie-ins, and analyze your specific zoning footprint. You get a clear, no-nonsense report stating exactly what can legally be built, parked, or rented on your lot—before you spend a dime on construction.
Design & Engineering
Whether you are buying a pre-fab modular unit or building a custom ADU from the ground up, we secure the site plans, foundation tie-downs, and architectural blueprints required to pass Florida Building Code.
Permitting & STR Licensing
We take the plans to the city or county building department and fight the bureaucratic battles for you. We handle plan-check comments, schedule inspections, and secure your final Certificate of Occupancy. Planning to Airbnb? We’ll even set up your state DBPR vacation rental licenses and tourist tax accounts.

Navigating Collier County zoning is a full-time job. Naples AD acts as your shield against the building department so you can focus on your investment, not the paperwork.
Quick Answers Before You Book
Can I run an Airbnb in the City of Naples?
The City of Naples heavily restricts short-term rentals (30-day minimums, max 3 exceptions/year). Unincorporated Collier County allows them with a $50 registration and a state DBPR license. Your assessment confirms which applies to your lot.
What does the Feasibility Assessment include?
An on-site lot evaluation, zoning clearance check, setback measurements, a utility tie-in report and an STR legality assessment (City vs. County).

No. Naples AD fees cover consulting, expediting and coordination. Pass-through city/county permit fees are billed separately by local municipalities.
