Reading the numbers
Sixth of fifteen by rate, tenth by value, tenth by size. $354.93 is a mid-table figure on this plat — $3.42 below the street average of $358.35 and $41.70 below the lakefront average of $396.63.
It ranks 836th of 1,042 by rate — $122.33 below the roll average of $477.26. Its assessment ranks 955th and its floor area 954th, one place apart.
Against 12044 it is 563 sq ft smaller and $45,030 less valuable, at $58.13 a foot more. The smaller of the two lakefront houses here carries the higher rate, as the pattern on this street requires.
Three bedrooms over two baths, 700 sq ft each. Fewer baths than bedrooms, as 402 of the roll's 1,042 parcels file. Only three parcels in the whole roll carry 1954, and this is one of them.
Reading the frontage
Lakefront is a mapped-polygon flag against Lake Butler. The parcel reaches the water. 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 1,938 m, the fourth-longest of the fifteen, between 1,926 m at 12044 and 1,949 m at 12045. That field is a position reference against the water polygon, not a frontage measurement.
The lakefront nine here run from $246.43 to $639.96. This sits within thirty dollars of both the street average and the middle of that range — a useful reference point for what a plain 1950s lakefront cottage is carried at on Sandy Shores.
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 1954.
