How to find a Lee County property when the address is too new for Google Maps

If ever an address is too new for google maps you can always find it on the Lee County Property Appraiser website.

Usually this isn't so much of a problem for Cape Coral, however sometimes in Fort Myers or Lehigh Acres, there will be a new street or development that hasnt yet been cataloged by Google

Here is a step by step to finding and seeing where a property is located on the Lee County Property Appraisers website. It's www.leepa.org When you get there look in the left hand frame, click on "Property Database Search" under the Database Search heading.

You can use this link to get right to the search page, I have this one book marked in my toolbar for fast access.

Type only the street number in the number field, obviously.

In the street name type it like this "Yoakum st" in the street name field

Use the operators st ln pkwy ter ave etc if you need them....you can always run the search off just the number and the street name 1818 and Yoakum or 1326 & se 47^th (our office address)

This was a bank owned (REO) home my office sold within 48 hours via email blast to our investor database.

When you get to the property info page, the first thing I usually do is scroll to the bottom to "Appraisal Details" and click on "Show"

This expands the property view and allows you to see the bedroom count, square footage breakdowns, etc.

Now to see exactly where this property is, go back to the top of the page, in the middle above the picture, click on "Viewer" This will pull up a satellite view with parcel line overlays

On the tool bar to the right, click on the magnifying glass icon, first one to the right of the hand icon.....left click and hold that and move your mouse up or down to zoom in or out.

This will allow you to see geographically where the property is located and how to navigate to it.
