At POQUITO BAYOU’s $500,000 median and Okaloosa County’s adopted 12.89 mills (FY2025-26), a home assessed at that price carries roughly $6,450 a year in property tax before exemptions, or about $5,940 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 Okaloosa County tax page.
