What the county record says

Reading the numbers

$1,208.10 ranks 4th of 1,042. Only three parcels in the roll carry a dearer foot. On this street nothing comes within $309: the next rate is 12607 at $945.15.

706 sq ft ranks last of 38 by area; the assessment ranks 36th. Across the whole roll this is one of only two parcels filed under 1,000 sq ft — the other is 9203 Winter Garden Vineland Rd at 960 sq ft and $1,105.28 — and both are lakefront.

One bedroom, one bath, built 1948. Five parcels in the roll file a single bedroom and forty carry 1935; four carry 1948. This is the smallest living area on the street by 505 sq ft.

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 1,379 m, 69 m inside the street average of 1,448 m. That field is a position reference against the water polygon, not a frontage measurement.

The rate is a land artefact, not a building one. A $852,920 assessment divided by 706 sq ft is not a statement about the cottage; it is what happens when a waterfront parcel carries almost no house. Read it against the parcel, never against the structure.

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 1948 cottage has been extended, replaced or held as a guest house.
