Reading the numbers

Seventh of fifteen by rate, on the fourth-smallest house. $311.28 sits $85.35 below the lakefront average of $396.63 and $10.35 above the canal average of $300.93 — near the middle of both groups.

It ranks 912th of 1,042 by rate — $165.98 below the roll average of $477.26. Its assessment ranks 993rd and its floor area 1,007th, so cheap and small line up, and the rate follows them.

Against 12044 opposite it is 958 sq ft smaller and $259,650 less valuable, at $14.48 a foot less. The lakefront parcel across the road carries a $14.48 premium per square foot over this one.

Three bedrooms over two baths, 568.3 sq ft each. Fewer baths than bedrooms, as 402 of the roll's 1,042 parcels file. 1981 is its build year, carried by no other parcel on this street.

Reading the frontage

Canal is a mapped-polygon flag, not a frontage measurement. The parcel is recorded against a canal serving Lake Butler rather than the lake itself. No shoreline length, dock, seawall or lift is recorded against it, and the flag does not confirm a navigable channel or a mooring.

The roll's distance field reads 1,924 m, between 1,913 m at 12036 and 1,939 m at 12045. That field is a position reference against the water polygon, not a frontage measurement.

Six of the fifteen parcels here carry a canal flag. They average $300.93 against $396.63 for the nine lakefront parcels, and the gap of $95.70 is wider than the spread between the plat's oldest and newest houses.

What this page is not

  • It is not a listing. Nothing here says the property is for sale.
  • It is not an appraisal. Just value is the county's assessment figure for its own tax year.
  • It does not confirm a dock, a seawall or navigable access to Lake Butler.
  • It does not say whether the house has been extended or rebuilt since 1981.
