Reading the numbers
This is the smallest assessment on Jacob Grace Ct. $1,758,270 against $6,009,380 at the top of the street, on a court where all eleven houses are filed lakefront, all eleven sit under the same recorded plat, and all eleven were built between 2003 and 2007. Nothing about the location separates them. What separates them is the building.
The land line is identical on every house here. Every one of the eleven lakefront parcels on this court carries a land value of $800,000 — the same number, filed eleven times. That is unusual enough to be worth saying plainly, because it means the entire spread on this street sits in the improvement line, not the ground. Here the improvement is $958,270 across 4,655 sq ft, or $206 a foot of building.
$378 a foot overall is fifth-lowest of the eleven. The court runs a $460 band from $308 to $768, narrow only because one parcel sits far outside everything else on it; the ten houses below that outlier run $308 to $448, a $139 band. This one sits in the middle of that ten and near the bottom of the whole.
Four bedrooms and five and a half baths. One and a half baths beyond one per bedroom, so an “every bedroom ensuite” description is supportable in the arithmetic, with presumably a spare half bath serving the common area. The roll does not say which rooms have a bath attached. 1,164 sq ft of house per bedroom — mid-range on this court, where the spread runs from 908 to 1,783.
It sold in 2026 for $2,500,000. The assessment sits at 70% of that. Three parcels on this street have a filed sale, and the ratios differ widely — the same court shows 60% and 84% against their last recorded prices. A just value is the county's own figure for its own tax year; it is not a price and does not track one automatically.
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 1,511 m here — the lowest of the eleven, rising without interruption to 1,936 m at 12836 as the addresses climb. That field is a position reference, not a frontage measurement; it does not say this parcel has more water frontage than the last one on the court, only that the county places it nearer.
One thing this document cannot show you is worth stating. The county roll carries 34 parcels on Jacob Grace Ct, not eleven. Twelve sit on the lake side at an $800,000 land value; twenty-two sit inland at $225,000–$250,000. Eleven of the twelve lakefront parcels have a house. The twelfth, 12732 Jacob Grace Ct, is filed vacant at $800,000 — land only, no building, no living area — which is why it has no page in this registry. The lakefront premium is therefore not a vague impression on this street: the county files it as $550,000 to $575,000 of land between one side of the court and the other.
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 all four bedrooms have an attached bath, or what the $2,500,000 sale in 2026 included.
