What the county record says

Reading the numbers

This is the smallest floor area on Hook Cir, and the highest rate. 1,827 sq ft against a street that runs to 3,730 at 8116. $257 a foot against that same parcel's $153. The two ends of the street are 1,903 sq ft and $104 a foot apart, and the whole rate band of Hook Cir is contained in that one comparison.

Four bedrooms in 1,827 sq ft is 457 sq ft per bedroom — the tightest floor plan on the street, against 932 sq ft per bedroom at 8116. It is also the reason the value-per-foot here is high: the rate divides an assessment by a small number, and this is the smallest number on the circle.

Yet $469,040 is the third-highest assessment on Hook Cir, above three larger houses. 8104 carries 883 more sq ft and $134,680 more value; 8110 carries 139 more sq ft and $44,470 less value. A four-bedroom house assessed above a five-bedroom house is the sort of ordering a buyer notices and a listing rarely explains.

Two baths for four bedrooms. Two bedrooms without their own bath, and in 1,827 sq ft that is simply what the plan is: the baths are shared, and no description of this house should imply otherwise. Every parcel on Hook Cir fails the one-bath-per-bedroom test; this one fails it by two.

The closest comparison on the street is 8055. 1,853 sq ft — twenty-six square feet larger — three bedrooms rather than four, and $3,630 less value at $465,410. The rate is $251, six dollars below this parcel. Two houses that close in size, one bedroom apart, within $6 a foot: on this circle the bedroom count does not move the rate, the floor area does.

Reading the frontage

Lakefront is a mapped-polygon flag against Lake Tibet Butler: the parcel reaches the water. No shoreline length, dock, seawall or lift is recorded against it. On a 1,827 sq ft house the flag matters more than it does on the large lots one lake east — this is a small house on a lake it reaches, not a waterfront estate — but the record still says nothing about how much water it touches.

The roll's recorded distance field reads 1,695 m, second-highest of the six, and the values fall in address order to 1,610 m at 8116. That is a position reference along the loop, not a frontage measurement.

Bay Lakes At Granada Section 2 is the plat for all six parcels on this circle. Every address on the street carries the same instrument, and five of the six carry the same build year, which is why the assessments here read as one set rather than a scatter of individually designed houses.

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 Tibet Butler.
• It does not confirm that four bedrooms fit comfortably in 1,827 sq ft — only that the roll files four.
