The Florida Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) just launched an audit of Jacksonville’s skyrocketing property taxes, a 57% increase since 2020. DOGE says that kind of jump far exceeds population growth and inflation.
Sound familiar?
👇 Here’s how Cape Coral stacks up from 2020–2025:
Ad Valorem Increase: 54.7%
Fire Service Assessment: 92.9%
Public Service Tax: 65.3%📊 TOTAL INCREASE: 62.3%
‼️ That’s even higher than Jacksonville, and yet we're not being audited?
Cape Coral residents deserve the same level of oversight and accountability. It’s our money, and we have every right to know how it’s being spent.
What Do Gunter, the City Manager, & Mason Have to Hide from DOGE?
Below are the letters from DOGE and Mark Mason. Funny thing, the City Council didn’t even know DOGE had reached out until after the “Interim Assistant City Manager,” AKA Mason, took it upon himself to respond. Transparency at its finest, right?

🗣 We DEMAND a DOGE audit in Cape Coral. This city’s been bleeding taxpayers dry for years and we’re supposed to just sit back and accept it? No way. Let DOGE dig in. Let them ask the tough questions our officials keep dodging. We deserve real answers, not more spin. Enough is enough.
All information has been thoroughly investigated and reported by the Take Out the Trash Committee of Cape Coral and/or its authorized volunteers!
