Check my Cape Coral home, freeHow we measured this
We compared every single-family home in Cape Coral to the median comparable home in the same ZIP, using public county just (market) value from the Florida DOR roll, the value a §194.011 VAB petition actually challenges, not the Save Our Homes-capped assessed value, and counted a home as over-assessed when it sits more than 15% above that median. This is a city-level screen, it shows where over-assessment is common, not whether any specific home is over-assessed. See the full nationwide methodology and ranking. Data as of July 2026.
