Protect your property with free fraud alerts
I'm proud to announce that the Clerk's office has launched Property Fraud Alert, a free new service designed to help protect Lee County property owners from fraud. Anyone who subscribes will receive
email notifications when a deed, mortgage or other land record with their name on it has been entered into the county's official records.
If you own a home or property in Lee County, I encouraged you to sign up and begin protecting your most valuable investment.

Deadline to contest property value is Sept. 6
Property tax season has begun. Lee County property owners are beginning to receive their assessed property value statement from the Property Appraiser. Any property owners who would like to contest the assessed property values can file a petition with the Value Adjustment Board by Sept. 6.
