Watering Restrictions & Permits in Cape Coral
The South Florida Water Management District (SFWMD) enforces the standard year-round Lower West Coast landscape irrigation rule of 2 days per week; a designated area of northeastern Cape Coral is also under a Modified Phase II Water Shortage Order for private wells drawing from the Mid-Hawthorn Aquifer. Exact days and times depend on your address and can shift further as drought conditions change.
Lee County also regulates removal of protected trees above a certain trunk diameter outside of exempted species and hazard cases, administered through the county's permitting portal. Skipping this step on a healthy, protected tree can mean a significant fine.
Lee County is not in the High-Velocity Hurricane Zone — that only applies to Miami-Dade and Broward counties. Lee County instead falls under Florida's standard Wind-Borne Debris Region requirements.

Know Who's Working In Your Home
Florida's Department of Business and Professional Regulation has run joint enforcement operations with the Lee County Sheriff's Office specifically targeting unlicensed contractors who prey on homeowners with storm-related repairs — roofing, flood damage, mold remediation, window replacement, pool-cage repair, and structural work. Lee County remains a frequent target for these scams because so many homes still carry hurricane-related repair needs, and out-of-area crews often pressure homeowners to sign quickly before verifying credentials.
Before hiring a landscaping crew in Cape Coral, ask for proof of general liability insurance and, if the job involves any structural or irrigation-system work, verify their license at myfloridalicense.com.
