Pelican Preserve handicap placard and disabled parking permit, certified by video.

Need a handicap placard in Pelican Preserve? A Florida-licensed doctor evaluates your condition for a disabled parking permit by private video visit and, if you qualify, completes the doctor's portion of Florida's HSMV 83039 form. You submit the signed form to the Lee County Tax Collector's office or a license plate (tag) agency, who issues your placard. $119 one-time fee. Free eligibility check first, no card required.

Pelican Preserve is a large active-adult community off Treeline Avenue in Fort Myers. Lee County appointments can run weeks out in season, which is when most residents actually need the paperwork done.

For Pelican Preserve and Lee County

Provider Notes serves patients across Florida, including Pelican Preserve and Southwest Florida. Your evaluation happens by video, so there is no office to drive to. If your doctor certifies your application, your completed Florida form is signed and returned to you, and you submit it to your local county office to receive the physical placard.

What the fee covers

The $119 pays for the doctor's clinical evaluation, not the outcome. Our doctors are paid the same whether they certify you or not, so you get an honest clinical opinion.

Certification is a clinical decision made during your visit. It is not guaranteed, and the placard itself is issued by Lee County.
