The current taxable value ($120,700) is above the asking price. After a sale the assessment is typically set from market value, which here would be lower than the current taxable value, so the estimate is lower. Confirm with the county property appraiser — the appraiser, not the sale price, sets the assessment.

| Property tax | The current owner's bill is about $1,475/yr (certified county roll, taxable value × millage). Buy at the asking price of $159,000 and the first-year bill resets to about $1,350/yr (the parcel is matched to the certified roll; asking price less the $50,000 homestead exemption × 12.28 mills (county-average millage, estimate)); Save Our Homes caps later increases at 3%/yr. |

| HOA dues | $204/month per the listing record. Dues cover what the association documents say they cover; ask for the budget and reserve study before you close. |
| 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. |
| Roof and age | Built in 1985. An original roof would be about 41 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. |
Estimated carrying cost at the asking price, before the mortgage: about $477/month (tax $112, HOA $204, insurance $161). An estimate from the sources above, not a quote; the monthly-cost calculator on this page adds the loan.

Per the listing record, 8730 Thomas Drive 1301C was built in 1985 and has 1 bedrooms and 1 bathrooms. Living area and lot size come from the MLS record and should be verified against the county property appraiser.
8730 Thomas Drive 1301C is in Plazas Of St.Thomas I in Panama City Beach, 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.
The listing reports HOA dues of $204 per month. Dues, what they cover, and the community's rules should be confirmed from the association's current documents before relying on them.
The estimate on this page (about $1,350 per year) assumes reassessment at the list price less the homestead exemption. Estimated buyer taxes are about $125 less per year than the current owner’s estimated bill (−8%). 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.
A flood designation has not been verified for this address. Look up the parcel on FEMA's Flood Map Service Center (msc.fema.gov) and confirm with your insurer.
