Question2)What was the highest selling property for the month of June?

I was unable to locate this information on the Pinellas county appraiser's website. Perhaps it is because the site is currently under construction. However I used Zillow to obtain the requested information. The selling price of the property was $1,800,000. The previous selling information given listed the previous sell date as 12/26/12 for 225,000. Sounds like an amazing house flip/investment. WOW!

Question 3) The assessed land value is much much lower than the last sale price. The assessed land value is $137, 914 and the house sold on 5/1/13 for $268,000. I know because this is a family members house. The data is also not up to date, the owners name listed is stated as the previous owner, not the current. I checked my own home out of curiosity and my land value is $30, 000 less then I paid, and I have completely remodeled the house since.

Question 4)This home is one of Glenn Q Johnson's famous 'birdcage' homes in Pinellas Point. (This home was featured in Architectural Digest in the 50's).

Question 5) Based on size and location the land parcel 090310105 (the parcel in yellow) is valued much lower than the surrounding parcels of equal size and should be adjusted.
