Cape Coral was built about 40 years ago by two land speculators who believed that the property's location on the Gulf Coast provided abundant sunshine and almost endless opportunities for waterfront living. The Rosen brothers purchased the property, platted the community and created more than 400 miles of canals. The Census Bureau reports Cape Coral is the 3rd largest city by land mass, with an area of 115 square miles." The brothers began a massive marketing campaign that resulted in the sale of nearly all of the 350,000 residential building sites, the majority to people who lived in other states.

Cape Coral is one of the fastest growing areas in Florida.

The City incorporated in August 1970, and its population continues to grow rapidly. With nearly 150,000 residents, Cape Coral is one of the fastest growing areas in Florida. With nearly 160,000 residents, Cape Coral is one of the fastest growing areas in Florida. Cape Coral is the 3rd largest city geographically in the state of Florida and is the 11th largest city in population. The supply and affordability of these waterfront sites makes Cape Coral one of the most attractive communities on the Gulf Coast.

One of the most attractive features of Cape Coral and Southwest Florida is its terrific year-round weather. The area averages 335 days of bright sunshine each year (the other 30 days are just moderate sunshine). While the summers are very warm, humid and rainy, the winters in Cape Coral are absolutely beautiful.

Southwest Florida receives about 53 inches of rain each year, the majority of which falls from May through September. During the summer months, afternoon rains regularly roll in with heavy downpours and stormy conditions that may last only a couple of hours before subsiding. Then the sun reappears, heat and humidity return, and all is well until the next day when the cycle begins again.

GOVERNMENT
The City of Cape Coral operates under the Council-City Manager form of government. City council members are elected at large from seven districts. The mayor also is elected at large and is the eighth member of council. The mayor presides over council meetings.

The City Council enacts ordinances and resolutions, adopts the budget, comprehensive plan and land-use regulations. The Council appoints the City Manager and City Attorney, as well as the members of all boards and commissions. The City Manager hires all department directors and oversees the day-to-day operations of the city.

TAXES
The City of Cape Coral (as with all of Florida) has no personal income tax. Sales tax is 6 percent, and there are no taxes on personal services. The corporate income tax rate is 5.5 percent and is assessed on gross receipts and not on existing inventory.

The city has a total real estate property tax, which includes county, school, miscellaneous taxes, that averages 22.1330 per $1,000 of assessed value (the City of Cape Coral portion is 6.1049). Florida has a Homestead Exemption law that allows eligible homeowners to deduct $25,000 from the assessed value prior to computation of taxes due.

Cape Coral also is one of only three cities in Florida that does not have public services taxes. This results in considerable savings for residents. The public service tax charged by other cities can range up to 10 percent and is based on consumption of electricity, water, telecommunications, and bottled or metered gas.

Cape Coral Events
Throughout the year, the Special Events Division of the Cape Coral Parks & Recreation Department produces a variety of programs, classes and events for the citizens of Cape Coral and surrounding communities.
