Lee County Property Appraiser gives notice regarding potential Hurricane Idalia property tax refunds
Lee County Property Appraiser Matt Caldwell reminds all property owners that the “Refund of taxes for residential improvements rendered uninhabitable by a catastrophic event” (FS 197.319) may apply to properties impacted by Hurricane Idalia. Those property owners whose residential property (eight units or less) was rendered uninhabitable for more than 30 days following Hurricane Idalia can apply for the refund on the Property Appraiser’s website, starting Sept. 30.
The deadline to apply for Hurricane Idalia Property Tax Refunds is April 1, 2024.
Please note that if your property was already categorized as uninhabitable as of Jan. 1, 2023 as a result of Hurricane Ian, then the Idalia refund process does not apply.
Questions can be directed to hurricaneupdate@leepa.org. Please reference “Hurricane Idalia” in communications for this event.
