Cape Coral is in Lee County, and the county page requires cats, dogs, and ferrets four months or older that live in the county at least 30 days a year to be vaccinated and licensed. The ordinance text quoted is countywide, not a separate Cape Coral fee. That is the rule taken from the fetched page, not from a neighboring city. Read the linked page before you pay, because a form can change.

The official page states this fee: Same county table: sterilized and microchipped one-year $15; unsterilized one-year $35; late fee $25. Read the full table on the county page. A current out-of-state rabies vaccine still needs a Lee County license that expires with that vaccine. The state context is Florida, and the city page controls if it is more specific.

In Cape Coral, start with the office named above and the linked government page. A rabies certificate from a veterinarian shows the vaccine. It is the city or county license only if that official page says the certificate is the license. Tags issued by another city do not automatically transfer when you move to Cape Coral. Ask whether the page's age rule, late fee, and spay or neuter difference apply to your dog before you pay.
