Two 2013 houses, one street, 137 dollars apart

The only other parcel here built in 2013 is 732, on the opposite side of the road. Both file the same year; they could hardly be more different in assessment. 732 carries $3,761,950 at $655.73 a foot. This one carries $3,084,090 at $518.25 — 214 sq ft less house, $677,860 less value.

Same vintage, same plat, same bay. What separates them sits in fields the roll does not publish, which is the honest answer and also the reason a listing should not lean on the build year as though it settled value.

Reading the Wauseon Bay frontage

Wauseon Bay opens off Lake Butler on the Town of Windermere side, so an address here is on the Butler Chain without sitting on the main basin. This parcel is screened as lakefront because its boundary reaches a mapped water polygon — a mapping result, not a shoreline survey.

Bay frontage, canal frontage and lake frontage are three different things to a buyer, and a GIS screen does not settle which one a deck faces. The recorded plat and the deed describe the lot; the permitting authority describes what may be built on the water.

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 figure for its own tax year.
  • It is not a comparison with 732. The difference is real; its cause is not in this record.

Windermere adds municipal review

Inside the Town of Windermere, exterior work and tree removal run through the town as well as the county. On a 2013 build, the permit file at the town is the fastest way to confirm what was actually completed.
