Property taxes
✓ Certified tax roll · county-average rateProperty taxes in Florida are reassessed after a sale, so a buyer’s first full-year bill can be higher than the seller’s. Budget from this estimate, not the current bill, before you make an offer.
Most of this comes from Florida’s Save Our Homes assessment cap resetting when the home sells — the current owner’s protected assessment does not transfer to a new buyer.

What it really costs to own 1730 Firetower Road
The parts of the monthly number a mortgage calculator leaves out, from this listing's MLS record, the county tax roll, Citizens and FEMA. Property facts only.
| Property tax | The current owner's bill is about $1,750/yr (certified county roll, taxable value × millage). Buy at the asking price of $335,000 and the first-year bill resets to about $4,375/yr (the parcel is matched to the certified roll; asking price less the $50,000 homestead exemption × 15.35 mills (county-average millage, estimate)); Save Our Homes caps later increases at 3%/yr. |
|---|---|
| Home and flood insurance | The average Citizens Property Insurance premium in Washington County is $1,599/yr (116 policies, Citizens detail by county, April 2026); private-market quotes differ by roof age, wind mitigation and distance to the coast. The page's modeled range for this home is $1,500–$3,000/yr; neither is a quote. Flood: this address maps to FEMA zone X, outside the high-risk zone; flood insurance is optional but most lenders and insurers recommend it. Statewide, a zone X flood policy runs about $500–$700/yr (FEMA Risk Rating 2.0 averages, not a quote). |
| Roof and age | Built in 1969. An original roof would be about 57 years old; under Florida's 2022 reform (SB 2-D) carriers may require an inspection past 15 years, so budget for a roof report and ask for the roof permit date. |

Items worth confirming for 1730 Firetower Road, chosen from what the record shows. This is general guidance, not advice about this specific property.
- Built in 1969 (57 years): ask for the roof and HVAC replacement dates — insurers commonly ask for roof age on homes this old, and it changes the premium.
- Confirm whether a mandatory HOA applies to this parcel and what it charges.
- FEMA flood zone X: flood insurance is not usually required, but get a quote anyway — FEMA reports roughly one in four flood claims come from outside high-risk zones.
- Get a homeowners insurance quote for this specific address in Washington County; a wind-mitigation inspection and, on older homes, a four-point inspection can change the premium.
- Confirm square footage and room dimensions independently.
- Order a survey to confirm lot boundaries and easements.
- Review permit history with the county.
- Property taxes: the estimate on this page (about $4,375/yr) assumes reassessment at the list price less the homestead exemption. Estimated buyer taxes are about $2,625 more per year than the current owner’s estimated bill (+150%). Exemptions and portability change the actual bill — confirm with the county property appraiser.
- Confirm school zoning directly with the district.

Frequently asked questions
How big is 1730 Firetower Road and when was it built?
Per the listing record, 1730 Firetower Road was built in 1969 and has 3 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms. Living area and lot size come from the MLS record and should be verified against the county property appraiser.
What community is 1730 Firetower Road in?
1730 Firetower Road is in Chipley, Washington County. Too few comparable closed sales exist nearby for this page to show local sales statistics; a licensed agent can prepare a comparative market analysis.
Why might property taxes on 1730 Firetower Road differ from the current owner's?
The estimate on this page (about $4,375 per year) assumes reassessment at the list price less the homestead exemption. Estimated buyer taxes are about $2,625 more per year than the current owner’s estimated bill (+150%). Florida reassesses a home after it sells; for a homesteaded seller the Save Our Homes cap on their assessment does not transfer, and a buyer's own exemptions and portability are applied separately, so the two bills usually differ. Any tax figure shown here is an estimate, not the actual bill — confirm with the county property appraiser and tax collector.
Is 1730 Firetower Road in a flood zone?
The FEMA flood map places this parcel in Zone X, outside the special flood hazard area, so flood insurance is not usually required by a lender. It is still available and worth quoting; confirm the parcel's status with FEMA and your insurer.
Can I rely on the figures on this page?
No. Estimated taxes, insurance, payments, and any market or comparable-sales summary are opinions and estimates for general information only and should not be relied upon. Verify all information independently before making any decision.
