Here it is. I can tell you because I know it well. Also, I know where to retrieve its information.
Take a close look at the column “Market Value” and “Assessed Value”.
They’re not only taxing on the house only, but they are also taxing on the land (lot) and Features (external things).
They are not using “Assessed Value” to tax this property, but instead they are using “Market Value” to tax it for “Public School: By State Law (Rle)” and “Public School: By Local Board”.
If this home was sold at that price, $402K, it would need to do a lot of things because it is still in original condition when the builder built it in July 1991. Also, don’t forget adding the real estate sales commission (6%) plus closing costs… So, in order to pocket $402,000, this property shall sell at the price around half-million ($500K) for as is, do you think anyone would like to buy? Or do all the work, improve, (bring it to a brand-new condition but still in old structure building) and then sell at the price of $550K to $600K. Do you think anyone would like to pay that price for the house that was built in Central Florida last century (1991)… ???
Sum up:
- They increased to tax the maximum allowed (10%) while, as they showed, the market only increased 3.6% last year and 7.0% the year before that.
- While the market was very calm last year, they continued increasing the property value to get the maximum profit as they could. Because people were holding the houses, if not, the market dropped a lot last year too.
- They overtaxed this property by more than $100,000 USD (one hundred thousand United States Dollars) based on their calculations…
- Based on the right way taxing people’s home and fair and as the government treats people right, they overtaxed this property at least $200,000 USD (two hundred thousand United States Dollars) for just one single year, 2025.
- They taxed the house as a brand-new house. If they use the brand-new house price method (just built house) as the basis for appraising, that is okay, but they need to apply the depreciation calculation… I mean it’s okay with the talk. I do not mean it’s okay to tax people’s homes…

OVERTAXES
THE ABOVE PROPERTY
Oh, I forgot to mention how big this property is. It is 2,116 square feet, 3 bedrooms, 2 bathrooms, 1 floor, 2-car garage and 8,699 square feet lot size and was built in 1991.
I don’t know why they stamped the shed built in 1/1/2005. As far as I know, it was there before April 1996.
The property was purchased on July 28, 1997.
Not done yet. There is no income generated from this property at all.
Now, you can guess how much your house would be taxed, especially if it is bigger than 2200 square feet.
