Reading the numbers
This is the highest just value and the highest rate on Bay Cove Ct, and the build date is the earliest on the court. That combination — oldest house, highest value — is the clearest sign on the street that the assessment is following the land, not the building.
Set it against 8929 next door: 5,060 sq ft, built 1989, assessed $1,633,270. Seventeen years newer, three quarters of a bedroom-bath count, and $2,280,640 less. A 692 sq ft difference in floor area cannot account for that. If you are pricing this street, the two houses are not comparables for each other, and the record says so.
The rate is arithmetic, not a benchmark. $680 a foot at 5,752 sq ft is what dividing a large waterfront assessment by a moderate floor area produces.
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.
Bay Hill Section 4 is the older golf-course section of the community. Lots here were platted before the current setbacks and lot-coverage limits were written, which is why the 1970s houses sit close to the water line and why a rebuild rarely reproduces the original footprint.
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 explain the gap to 8929. The roll records a number; it does not record why.
