Carey Baker was honored at the South Lake Chamber of Commerce Breakfast with the prestigious President’s Award in recognition of his many years of exemplary leadership and unwavering contributions to the community. Since serving as Property Appraiser, he has made significant strides in ensuring Lake County Residents are better informed about tax exemptions and property-related information.  As Baker prepares to leave office in January 2025, his legacy of service and commitment to community enrichment will undoubtedly be remembered.
