Free Seminar: Learn how to handle the eviction process

Wednesday, Aug. 14

2-3 p.m.

North Fort Myers Public Library, Room AB 

2001 North Tamiami Trail, North Fort Myers 

Landlords and tenants who need information about the eviction process are invited to attend a free class hosted by your Lee Clerk.



Evictions in Lee County have increased by 35.7% over the past three years, and the Clerk’s office wants to help educate the community on the process associated with filing and responding to an eviction case. The class is free, but registration is required.



During the class, attendees will learn:

• Landlord & tenant rights and responsibilities
• What forms & information are required to file and respond to an eviction
• Steps in serving and responding to a summons
• The steps needed in responding to an eviction
• Time limits & related fees
• Additional steps to follow after filing and responding to an eviction
• Available resources for landlords and tenants

Couples can now apply for and record marriage licenses in Cape Coral. The new service joins other expanded services announced last year, including injunctions for protection against domestic violence and evictions.

The Lee Clerk’s Cape Coral branch is on the second floor of the John E. Manning Government Complex, 1039 SE 9^th Place.

*Wedding ceremonies are not performed at the Cape location. Anyone interested in getting married at the Clerk’s office can do so at the downtown Fort Myers location. 

Thank you to our attendees, knowledgeable speakers, and expo vendors for joining us at the first-ever Financial Wellness Summit in July. Attendees learned expert tips to help improve their overall financial wellness while learning how their tax dollars are managed, spent and invested.

In response to the overwhelming positive feedback, we will host the event again in 2025. One attendee even stated the Financial Wellness Summit is “a must attend for all Lee County residents!"
