What works in Sarasota County

Sarasota's seasonal-buyer comp pool runs thin in summer; widen the time window before the radius when sales are scarce.

Across Florida, the strongest single-family appeals pair three to five recent comparable sales with documented property condition. See the evidence and comps guide for what the VAB special magistrate will weigh.
