What it really costs to own 1006 Highway 98 #131
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 $5,150/yr (certified county roll, taxable value × millage). Buy at the asking price of $449,000 and the first-year bill resets to about $5,150/yr (the parcel is matched to the certified roll; asking price less the $50,000 homestead exemption × 12.89 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 Okaloosa County is $2,644/yr (1,101 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 $2,000–$4,000/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 1993. An original roof would be about 33 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. |
Flood zone & elevation

From the FEMA National Flood Hazard Layer. In this zone lender-required flood insurance is generally not mandated; confirm for the parcel.
Approximate parcel elevation from USGS; confirm exact elevation with a survey.
Okaloosa 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.

Buyer research checklist
Items worth confirming for 1006 Highway 98 #131, chosen from what the record shows. This is general guidance, not advice about this specific property.
- Built in 1993 (33 years): ask for the roof and HVAC replacement dates — insurers commonly ask for roof age on homes this old, and it changes the premium.
- Condominium: request the association's budget, reserves, the most recent milestone or structural inspection report, and two years of meeting minutes before relying on the dues.
- 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 Okaloosa 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 $5,150/yr) assumes reassessment at the list price less the homestead exemption. Estimated buyer taxes are approximately equal to the current owner’s estimated bill. Exemptions and portability change the actual bill — confirm with the county property appraiser.
- School zoning shown here comes from district data and changes; confirm the assigned schools directly with the district before relying on them.

Frequently asked questions
How big is 1006 Highway 98 #131 and when was it built?
Per the listing record, 1006 Highway 98 #131 was built in 1993 and has 3 bedrooms and 2.0 bathrooms. Living area and lot size come from the MLS record and should be verified against the county property appraiser.
What community is 1006 Highway 98 #131 in?
1006 Highway 98 #131 is in St Martin Beachwalk Villas in Destin, Okaloosa 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 1006 Highway 98 #131 differ from the current owner's?
The estimate on this page (about $5,150 per year) assumes reassessment at the list price less the homestead exemption. Estimated buyer taxes are approximately equal to the current owner’s estimated bill. 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 1006 Highway 98 #131 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.
