After years of declining property values, Dunedin homeowners might have more valuable properties in 2013. 

Pam DuBov, Pinellas County Property appraiser has good news for Pinellas County property owners. She is predicting a 3 percent rise in property values this year, according to TBO.

Hillsborough County, according to TBO, is projecting similar growth.
