Depending on the cactus and where you live. Check with your state or county agriculture department.
To me that looks like a succulent, not a cactus. Either way, once established and growing, you can cut down the water some. Both are drought tolerant and will let you know when they need watering. If it is real hot, it will take a little more for succulents.
It looks like an aloe which is a succulent. https://www.gardeningknowhow.com/houseplants/aloe-vera/growing-aloe-outdoors.htm
Once any cactus or succulent begins to grow, you can step back the watering. The worst thing you can do is over water it because that rots the roots. These are desert plants. They thrive in poor soil with occasional moisture. Once per week should be plenty. It's best to give it a really good dousing then let it dry out. If you have big rains, try to protect them from the excess rain.
I believe that is a succulent, similar to aloe. If you are fertilizing, and watering three times a week, you will get a lot of fast growth out of this plant. However, they really need to get deep watering only once a week, and much less often during the fall and winter. If it rains, skip a watering. It needs to get tough and hardy to grow on its own, with little help for you. It should live a long life if it does not become water-logged. ☺️
