Prefeitura Municipal de Cabo Frio

What Prefeitura Municipal de Cabo Frio does

Prefeitura Municipal de Cabo Frio is the municipal government of Cabo Frio, a coastal city in Rio de Janeiro state, Brazil, founded in 1615 and recognized as one of Brazil's oldest municipalities and the only location with an ocean archipelago on its coast (a Guinness-certified distinction). The administration delivers public services to approximately 230,000 residents and seasonal tourists, spanning health, education, sanitation, urban planning, tourism promotion, environmental management, tax collection, and cultural heritage. The current Mayor is Sérgio Luiz Costa Azevedo Filho, supported by 29 municipal advisory councils (Conselhos Municipais) covering health, education, social assistance, environmental, and child/adolescent protection matters.

The administration's core technology footprint centers on a digital-government ecosystem comprising the e-CAC taxpayer portal, the e-GOV citizen-service platform, the Portal do Servidor (HR/staff portal), the Portal da Transparência (transparency portal), and the more recently launched EmpregoJá employment-matching platform. Underlying IT infrastructure includes GLPI for IT service management, Zimbra for email, and VLibras for accessibility/sign-language translation. The municipality operates sanitation services through its subsidiary Comsercaf and runs tourism infrastructure including the 54 km TransCaboFrio trail system and beaches certified under the Blue Flag program (Praia do Peró certified since 2018).

As a public-sector entity, the Prefeitura does not generate commercial revenue; its operating budget is funded by municipal tax receipts (ISS, IPTU, ITBI), intergovernmental transfers from the federal and state governments, oil and gas royalties, tourism-related fees, and service charges. The administration has formalized institutional partnerships with the Brazilian Navy (coastal security and joint operations), IPHAN (federal heritage institute), and Ibram (Brazilian Museum Institute) for cultural asset protection, and was awarded the ATRICON Prata 2025 transparency seal for compliance with public-transparency standards.
