@Martin NestaI don't have much info for you - but I do know the 'nature of the beast' I can share with you... perhaps something will help...Most property tax "just values" in Florida - the value they say your property is worth - are intentionally set about 15-20% below market value.  

We also don't have a redemption bond, our mortgage company didn't require it and we didn't even know about it honestly when we bought the property back in 2022 (we've waited this long for mediation and a trial date). 

Keep in mind it's likely going to be harder to find a comparable or better investment property today than you bought in 2013 at a relatively low price and mortgage rate.
