Cape Coral considering registration program for rental property owners Published: February 3, 2021 7:50 AM EST Updated: February 3, 2021 7:52 AM EST Recommended Things may soon change for both renters and rental property owners in Cape Coral; Southwest Florida’s largest city plans to look at and consider altering the way code violations are reported. It would place more accountability on property owners, so if there’s a code violation at a rental property, Cape Coral will be able to quickly find the name and contact information for the owner responsible. If this idea passes, rental property owners will have to pay a one-time $35 registration fee, a process that could be completed online or at City Hall.
