What homes actually sold for in Sarasota County, FL
22,678 recorded sales over the last 24 months, straight from public county and state records. Your county assessor values your home from sales like these — so these are the numbers an appeal is argued with.
Period covered: 2024-09-01 – 2026-06-01. Non-arm's-length transfers and prices outside a plausible range are excluded, so these figures are lower than a raw record dump.
How to use this against your assessment
- 1. Find the value on your assessment notice, and your home's square footage (it's on the notice too).
- 2. Divide that value by your square footage. That is your assessed price per sq ft.
- 3. Compare it with your ZIP's figure in the table below — not the county figure, which mixes very different neighbourhoods.
- 4. If yours sits well above the local figure, that gap is what an appeal argues about. Whether it is worth filing is your call, and the number you put on the county form is yours to decide.

Filing is something you can do yourself — the county form is free and you do not have to buy anything. What most owners get stuck on is assembling the comparable sales as evidence.
