What the county record says

Reading the numbers

$897.87 ranks 17th of 1,042 parcels in the roll that carry a floor area, and 3rd of the 38 on this street. It sits $381.32 above the street average of $516.55 and $420.61 above the roll average of $477.26.

The house is small and the parcel is not. At 2,193 sq ft it ranks 31st of the 38 by living area, but 15th by just value. The assessment is carried by the land under it, not by the building on it — 731 sq ft a bedroom, against a street average of about 3,600 sq ft a bedroom.

Built 1947, the second-oldest house on the street. Only 5437, at 1935, predates it. Twenty-six parcels in the whole roll were built before 1950, and four carry 1935; this is one of the three that carry 1947.

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 distance field reads 1,317 m, the shortest on the street — 35 m inside the street average of 1,448 m and 497 m inside the furthest parcel at 5745. That field is a position reference against the water polygon, not a frontage measurement.

This is the parcel the numbering forgets. The street carries 35 addresses between 5005 and 5745, then three more in the 12,500s. 5005 and 12525 sit within 60 m of each other on the ground, but the county files them 7,520 house numbers apart.

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 1947 house has been extended or rebuilt since.
