What the county record says

Built in 1950, priced with the 2000s

The roll's twenty-seventh-oldest parcel and a 1950 build, yet $598.97 a foot — above 802 at $585.82 and 1005 at $588.56, both built half a century later. This is the plainest evidence on the street that the county's rate is not a function of age.

Three bedrooms and three baths across 2,974 sq ft, one of only six three-bedroom parcels here. The house is mid-ranked by area and mid-ranked by rate, and its assessment is the twelfth-lowest of forty-eight.

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 renovation record. The roll files one year built, not the history of the work done since.

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 mid-century house, the permit history is worth pulling before anything else is discussed.
