Legacy Assessment Refund Areas

The City of Cape Coral is closing the books on about 54,000 accounts associated with the legacy utilities assessment areas from the 1990s.  The City will issue refunds of the remaining cash balance in each account to current property owners.  The estimated total amount to be refunded from nine assessment areas is about $19 million. The loans for three of the larger projects ended last year – Green Wastewater, Striped Green Wastewater and Orange Water & Wastewater.  These three project areas, along with a fourth project (Orange Irrigation), represent more than 96 percent of the total balance to be refunded.

 2011 Buildout Analysis Minimize

The 2011 Build-Out Analysis was performed to determine the long-term, build-out potential for the City of Cape Coral. Several large-scale, future land use map amendments were completed in 2010, and City Council asked for a long-term perspective on the future of Cape Coral. This is the first year the Planning & Growth Management Division has performed a build-out analysis; however, it is anticipated this analysis will be done annually.  By conducting an annual analysis, City Council can receive updated information to help in their decision-making.  To read the report, please click here.
