It&#8217;s called the tax roll value.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Starting in mid-August, you will get the value in the mail along with your proposed property taxes, which is called a TRIM notice.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The information released by the office will go to jurisdictions such as Lee County commissioners and the school board.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>They will then have public hearings and set property tax rates.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>With Ian, some of the rates may be lower for people with Ian-damaged homes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&#8220;Obviously that\u2019s going to be a lower valuation,&#8221; Caldwell said. &#8220;It\u2019s going to save those taxpayers money.&#8221;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>He says property values went up though in Lee County, despite Ian.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&#8220;County-wide, overall values went up over 11%, although we had those enormous losses on Sanibel and Fort Myers Beach,&#8221; Caldwell explained. &#8220;About 35 and 40% respectively.&#8221;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Despite the fluctuation in numbers and Ian, Caldwell says this will not impact FEMA&#8217;s 50% rule. That&#8217;s because the number used in the algorithm is from 2022.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Once the property taxes are finalized, the Lee County Tax Collector will send your final bill in late October or as late as early November.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Keep in mind, it might be higher than the proposal because it includes other taxes, such as Solid Waste.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Based on new home values in Lee County, you could pay more in property taxes in 2023 and homeowners with Ian-damaged houses could pay less. &#8220;There\u2019s some that were completely&hellip; <\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":8,"featured_media":58263,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[57,32],"tags":[2418],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/thelehighacresgazette.com\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/58262"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/thelehighacresgazette.com\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/thelehighacresgazette.com\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/thelehighacresgazette.com\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/8"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/thelehighacresgazette.com\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=58262"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/thelehighacresgazette.com\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/58262\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":58264,"href":"https:\/\/thelehighacresgazette.com\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/58262\/revisions\/58264"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/thelehighacresgazette.com\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/58263"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/thelehighacresgazette.com\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=58262"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/thelehighacresgazette.com\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=58262"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/thelehighacresgazette.com\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=58262"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
