Straight from the public Florida roll. The estimated saving applies an estimated composite millage to the over-assessment. We adjust comparables for size, age, and location before we say a word about your property — and we never name owners.

The comparable basis

The 8 comparable sales behind the number

Each comparable is adjusted toward this property for size and age, then we take the median. Owners are never named — only the public sale figures matter.

Why this is the lever

Fla. Stat. s.193.011(8)

Under s.193.011(8), Just Value must be net of the usual and reasonable costs of sale (customarily ~15%). Where an assessment meets or exceeds the gross price comparable properties actually sold for, it cannot reflect net-of-cost just value, and the Value Adjustment Board can reduce it.
