At THE PRESERVE AT INLET BEACH’s $1,075,000 median and Walton County’s adopted 9.758 mills (FY2025-26), a home assessed at that price carries roughly $10,490 a year in property tax before exemptions, or about $10,100 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.
