From Akin Akinyemi, Leon County Property Appraiser:
As we turn the page on another year, I’m grateful for the opportunity to begin my third term of service as your Leon County Property Appraiser! My team and I are excited to present the 2024 Annual Report, showcasing our accomplishments, dedication to innovation, and key insights into property tax assessment trends from the past year. As detailed in our State of Real Estate column, real estate demand in Florida continues to exceed supply. While we continued to observe a decline in the total number of real estate transactions this year, property values have continued to increase.
Our office is dedicated to ensuring fair and equitable property assessments across Leon County, regardless of fluctuations in the market. Guided by Florida Statutes and under the oversight of the Florida Department of Revenue, we operate with transparency and integrity. As your elected property appraiser, I remain committed to serving you with accountability and trust.
Following our recently concluded annual management retreat, my leadership team and I are energized to rollout a few initiatives this year. Stay tuned—I welcome you to reach out to my office if you need assistance or would like any additional information about the work we do to value Leon County.
Yours in public service,
Akin Akinyemi, PhD, RA, CFA, CMS
