At MAGNOLIA COTTAGES BY THE SEA’s $1,490,000 median and Walton County’s adopted 9.758 mills (FY2025-26), a home assessed at that price carries roughly $14,540 a year in property tax before exemptions, or about $14,150 with the full Florida homestead exemption — a buyer’s first-year figure; a long-time owner’s Save Our Homes cap can be far lower, which is one reason resale taxes jump at closing. Municipal and special-district millage varies inside the county; see the Walton County tax page.
Current asking prices run a median $1,575,000 against the $1,490,000 recorded sold median (+6%) — the gap between what sellers hope and what the record shows.

Demand check: 0% of MAGNOLIA COTTAGES BY THE SEA’s listings are under contract, against 16% for ZIP 32413 and 18% for Walton County as a whole — the community is currently absorbing slower than its surroundings, which is negotiating information.
