Items worth confirming for 260 Sterling AVE, chosen from what the record shows. This is general guidance, not advice about this specific property.

Frequently asked questions
How big is 260 Sterling AVE and when was it built?
Per the listing record, 260 Sterling AVE was built in 1958 and has 1,584 sq ft of living area, 3 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms. Living area and lot size come from the MLS record and should be verified against the county property appraiser.
What community is 260 Sterling AVE in?
260 Sterling AVE is in Fort Myers Beach, Lee County. Too few comparable closed sales exist nearby for this page to show local sales statistics; a licensed agent can prepare a comparative market analysis.
Why might property taxes on 260 Sterling AVE differ from the current owner's?
The estimate on this page (about $7,347 per year) assumes reassessment at the list price less the homestead exemption. Florida reassesses a home after it sells; for a homesteaded seller the Save Our Homes cap on their assessment does not transfer, and a buyer's own exemptions and portability are applied separately, so the two bills usually differ. Any tax figure shown here is an estimate, not the actual bill — confirm with the county property appraiser and tax collector.
Is 260 Sterling AVE in a flood zone?
A flood designation has not been verified for this address. Look up the parcel on FEMA's Flood Map Service Center (msc.fema.gov) and confirm with your insurer.
Can I rely on the figures on this page?
No. Estimated taxes, insurance, payments, and any market or comparable-sales summary are opinions and estimates for general information only and should not be relied upon. Verify all information independently before making any decision.

Tax estimates apply county millage to the list price (less the homestead exemption where the parcel is matched to the certified roll) and will differ from the actual assessed bill. Cost and market figures are derived from available data and simple calculations, not a professional appraisal. We make no representation that any estimate reflects fair market value.
