Estimate a bill and check your assessment

Census survey estimates, 2020–2024. These county medians describe a survey population; they do not establish your home’s correct assessment.

Median home value
$362,200
Median annual taxes paid
$2,858
Estimated effective rate
0.79%

Census home values, Census taxes paid. Last verified 2026-10-24. Rate = median taxes ÷ median home value. Displayed rates are rounded; calculations use the unrounded ratio.

Example at $362,200: $2,858 per year, using the Census estimate.

Is my assessment too high?

At the default market value and bill, both equal the county medians. Being above a median does not establish overassessment. Assessed or taxable values may use a different basis and cannot be compared directly with Census market values.

Appeal timing and filing

Published appeal deadline: September 11, 2026 (announced). This date has passed; check the official office for the current cycle.

How to file: Lee County Clerk of Court, Value Adjustment Board; online, in person, or by mail to PO Box 2469, Fort Myers, FL 33902.
