Bonita Springs is the south end of Lee County, and its roofs split along the Imperial River. North and east of Old 41 and the river, older neighborhoods from the 1960s through the 1980s carry shingle and some metal on concrete block and frame homes. West toward the beach and east along Bonita Beach Road, the gated communities built from the 1990s onward are tile over felt, most of them now twenty years old or more.
The river floods. Irma in September 2017 put Imperial River water into homes along it, and Ian's surge in 2022 came up the Imperial and across Bonita Beach. Roofs near the beach took the wind and the salt. Most tile roofs in the gated communities kept their tile but cracked it, and the underlayment under them was already at the end of its life.

A tile roof at year twenty-two with a stain in a lanai ceiling is usually the flat lanai section, not the tile, and a roof repair visit sorts that out. A gated-community tile roof with an insurer letter is a roof inspection before any decision, and if the answer is replacement, the HOA's architectural rules come into the roof replacement scope. Homes near the beach should ask about marine-grade fasteners and trim.
Bonita Springs has been a city since 1999 and runs its own permit office. A re-roof inside the city limits goes through the City of Bonita Springs building permit process in the Community Development Department, which lists the roofing application forms online. Homes outside the city line, including some with a Bonita Springs address, go through the county.
