Reading the numbers
Ninety years old and still within $36 of the canal average. $268.47 against $300.93 for the plat's six canal parcels — age has not discounted it further than the water flag already does.
It ranks 960th of 1,042 by rate — $208.79 below the roll average of $477.26. Its assessment ranks 953rd and its floor area 847th, so it is worth slightly less than its size would suggest.
Against 12055, the best canal parcel here, it is 273 sq ft smaller and $443,620 less valuable, at $119.31 a foot less. Against 12050, the plat's lowest assessment, it is 1,228 sq ft larger and $288,566 more valuable, at $25.66 a foot less.
Four bedrooms over two and a half baths, 707.8 sq ft each. Fewer baths than bedrooms, as 402 of the roll's 1,042 parcels file. Only 26 houses in the whole roll were standing before 1950, and only one carries 1934.
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 2,032 m, the longest of the fifteen on this street — 151 m beyond 12024 at 1,881 m. That field is a position reference against the water polygon, not a frontage measurement.
Sandy Shores spans ninety build years, 1934 to 2024. The plat's rate band is $393.53, the 79th-narrowest of the roll's 106 multi-parcel streets — and most of that width comes from the lakefront side, not the canal one.
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 1934.
