Lee County Property Appraiser Ken Wilikinson released preliminary taxable values today. The Ellis Team was able to secure an advanced copy and has provided a breakdown of values by area. This is a complicated formula as new construction is built into these numbers, as well as personal property. The following chart will give you a pretty good estimate by area of the county of how the Property Appraiser’s office feels values fared last year. You can compare these values with our 2008 State of the Market Report. (Pg 10)
