Caldwell, Cunningham vie for Lee County Property Appraiser seat

Published: Updated:

Lee County has had the same property appraiser for 40 years. On Aug. 20, voters will decide if it will have the same one for eight years.

Matt Caldwell, who succeeded the retired Ken Wilkinson as appraiser in 2020 following a four-decade run, is running for re-election. Steve Cunningham, Caldwell’s opponent in the open primary, has 48 years of experience appraising real estate.

The Caldwell-Cunningham winner would earn a salary, as set by the state, of $189,252. The winner will oversee property valuations of more than half a million pieces of real estate.
