What plumbing actually looks like in Fort Myers
Fort Myers shares Lee County’s official climate with Cape Coral, but it is a different city: a river downtown, more pre-1960 housing (about 8.5% of units), and a very large 2010s addition (about 23% of units were built from 2010 to 2019). The ACS median year built is 2001. Hurricane Ian made landfall in Southwest Florida on September 28, 2022, and caused major damage in the Fort Myers area.
This page does not invent a hardness number. Permits go through City of Fort Myers Building, Permitting & Inspections, not through Cape Coral’s office.
