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 $404/yr per the MLS listing record (TaxAnnualAmount, 2026-11-14). Florida reassesses at sale, so a buyer's first bill is usually higher than the seller's; the county millage here is not verified, so no reset figure is printed.
Home and flood insurance
The average Citizens Property Insurance premium in Bay County is $1,928/yr (1,264 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 $500–$1,500/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 2020. A newer roof and current wind-mitigation features usually mean the lower end of insurance quotes; ask for the wind-mitigation form.
Estimated ownership costs
Estimated costs & disclosures
Estimated ownership costs for general information. Confirm each with the county, your lender, and an insurer. See data & estimate notes.
Property tax (first-year est.)
~$2,625/yr
Estimate: a typical Bay effective rate applied to the list price before any exemptions. Florida bills change with reassessment, homestead and other exemptions, and local taxing districts — this is not your expected bill. Confirm with the county property appraiser.
CDD assessment
Not reported
The MLS listing does not report a CDD amount. Many Florida communities have one; it shows on the county tax bill — confirm with the tax collector or the listing agent.
Insurance (illustrative range)
$500–$2k/yr
An illustrative modeled range, not based on carrier underwriting and not a quote. Florida premiums vary significantly by roof age, wind-mitigation features, claims history, and carrier — a real quote can land well outside this range. Flood insurance not federally mandated (Zone X). Get a quote from a licensed insurer before relying on any figure.
HOA
Not reported
Not stated in the listing. Confirm with the listing agent or the county record; $0 is used in the payment estimate.
Environmental data
Flood zone & elevation
Sourced environmental data for the parcel. Confirm with FEMA and your insurer.
FEMA flood zone

From the FEMA National Flood Hazard Layer. In this zone lender-required flood insurance is generally not mandated; confirm for the parcel.

Windstorm / insurance
Obtain a quote
Bay County is on the Florida coast; wind coverage is a major part of the premium. Premiums and coverage vary by home (roof age, wind mitigation, claims history); obtain a quote from a licensed insurer.

Oct 2026 · Development
Panama City rejects marina bids and will rebuild West Basin in phases
The city rejected all bids earlier this month for the 49-slip West Basin and will rebid in phases focused on wet slips. The boat ramp has been redesigned and will come later. Phase One construction could start within 90 days of selecting a contractor.
Why it matters: A slower, phased marina rebuild delays new downtown waterfront boating capacity but keeps the project moving toward construction. The site is less than a mile southwest of Thousand Oaks Bay.
West Beach Drive and Mulberry Avenue water, sewer and sidewalk work set to begin in Panama City
The project covers West Beach Drive from Sixth to Fourth Street and Mulberry Avenue, adding water lines, sewer lines and sidewalks in three phases to keep businesses open. Chevron has agreed to cover extra disposal costs if contaminated soil is found. Crews were expected to mobilize within about a week.
Why it matters: Upgraded utilities and sidewalks support the west-side commercial area, with some construction disruption during phasing. The site is about 2 miles west of Thousand Oaks Bay.
Deal reached to redevelop historic Panama City Grammar School into apartments and townhomes
Panama City reached a deal for developer Zachary Seymour to buy the 1914 Panama City Grammar School on East Seventh Street and convert it to apartments and townhomes. The city would waive about $375,000 in code fines and a $100,000 CRA grant is pending approval. Seymour has one year to finish structural repairs to roofs, windows and doors.
Why it matters: Reuse of a vacant historic building would add downtown-area residential units and remove a long-standing vacant property. The site is less than a mile northeast of Thousand Oaks Bay.
HCA Florida Gulf Coast Hospital announces $125 million expansion
HCA Florida Gulf Coast Hospital announced a $125 million expansion on its 23rd Street campus, including a new patient tower with 34 additional beds, a 16-bed orthopedic and spine unit, a fourth cath lab, an expanded women's center and a 5,000-square-foot outpatient entrance expansion. The project is in design, with construction of 24 to 36 months and completion targeted for 2029.
Why it matters: Added hospital capacity and specialty services would improve local healthcare access and add medical-sector employment along the 23rd Street corridor. The site is about 2 miles northwest of Thousand Oaks Bay.

Frequently asked questions
How big is 257 Arlington Drive and when was it built?
Per the listing record, 257 Arlington Drive was built in 2020 and has 2 bedrooms and 1 bathrooms. Living area and lot size come from the MLS record and should be verified against the county property appraiser.
What community is 257 Arlington Drive in?
257 Arlington Drive is in Thousand Oaks in Panama City, Bay 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 257 Arlington Drive differ from the current owner's?
The estimate on this page (about $2,625 per year) assumes reassessment at the list price less the homestead exemption. 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 257 Arlington Drive 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.
