Potential Hurricane Idalia property tax refunds
Lee County Property Appraiser Matt Caldwell reminded 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.
Property owners whose residential property — eight units or less — was rendered uninhabitable for more than 30 days following Idalia can apply for the refund starting on Sept. 30.
The deadline to apply for Hurricane Idalia Property Tax Refunds is April 1.
The Lee County Property Appraiser noted that if one’s property was already categorized as uninhabitable as of Jan. 1 due to Hurricane Ian, then the Idalia refund process does not apply.
