Class on property assessments, collections and disputes
Lee County Clerk and Comptroller Kevin Karnes, Property Appraiser Matt Caldwell and Tax Collector Noelle Branning will host a comprehensive presentation on the property assessment, collection and dispute process on Aug. 2 from 2 to 3 p.m. at the Estero Recreation Center in Estero.
They will thoroughly explain their portion of the process. The property appraiser will discuss how property value is assessed; the tax collector will review the tax collection process for the property; and the county clerk will explain how property owners can contest their assessments, as well as help safeguard their property with a free fraud alert service.
There will be a question-and-answer session. It will be an opportunity for attendees to ask the presenters questions they may have about the assessment, collection and dispute process.
The class is free, but registration is required at www.leeclerk.org/seminar.
Legal advice will not be provided at the seminar. The clerk cannot address any specific case or VAB-related decision or outcome. For legal inquiries, property owners may speak with an attorney.
The Estero Recreation Center is at 9200 Corkscrew Palms Blvd., Estero.
