Lee County Property Appraiser

Hurricane Ian Information

First and foremost, I am thankful for those of us who have survived the impact of Hurricane Ian. Many in our community have lost everything, including their lives, and our office is focused on helping those who remain to make a path forward. This loss will leave an indelible mark on our hearts.

As to the taxable valuation of property in Lee County, you can connect with our office here to submit information about the damage your property sustained in the hurricane. At the least, this information will help our office make adjustments to the property record in advance of the January 1, 2023 tax year. Additionally, after previous historic hurricanes, the State of Florida has passed retroactive tax breaks of varying degrees. If that occurs again, this information will also be used in determining which properties qualify under the standards adopted by the Legislature, if any.

Lastly, I want to reiterate that Southwest Florida is a resilient community. It has been my life-long home and I am certain that we will respond with strength and grace in the face of this new adversity. Please be safe and I wish all of us a speedy recovery.
