Overall taxable property valuation jumped by double digits in Lehigh Acres last year.
Estimated at a 9.71 percent increase a month ago, the overall taxable valuation of properties within the Lehigh Acres Fire District came in at a 10.94 percent increase, according to numbers released by the Lee County Property Appraisers Office Thursday.
The increases come despite some predictions that the COVID pandemic would negatively impact Southwest Florida property values with Lee County communities seeing an increase nearly across the board. Only properties with the Fort Myers Shores Fire District saw a dip, in that case of 1.03 percent.
