The community is invited to join Lee County’s Clerk and Comptroller Kevin Karnes and Property Appraiser Matt Caldwell for a free comprehensive presentation on the property assessment and dispute process.

The class will take place on Thursday, July 23 from 2 to 3 p.m. at the South County Regional Library, at 21100 Three Oaks Parkway in Estero.

During the presentation, the two officials will thoroughly explain their portion of the process to attendees. Caldwell will discuss how property value is assessed and Karnes will explain how to contest the property assessments, in addition to how to help safeguard the property with the Clerk’s free Property Fraud Alert service.

Immediately following the presentations, there will be a question-and-answer session so attendees can ask the presenters any questions they may have about the property assessment and dispute process.
