⚠️
Property 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.
Current owner’s estimated bill $3,700/yr ($308/mo) — taxable value $379,495 × 9.76 mills
$925 more each year
(+25%)
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 11 Driftwood Road #Unit 7
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 $3,700/yr (certified county roll, taxable value × millage). Buy at the asking price of $525,000 and the first-year bill resets to about $4,625/yr (the parcel is matched to the certified roll; asking price less the $50,000 homestead exemption × 9.76 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 Walton County is $1,942/yr (433 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 $2,500–$5,000/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 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.

Scenic Walton advances underground utilities and gateway landscape projects
Scenic Walton reported progress on countywide initiatives, including a $200,000 Freeport U.S. 331 gateway landscape project supported by a $100,000 FDOT Highway Beautification Grant, plus a 30A West gateway landscape project and early planning for countywide underground utilities. Funding for the utilities study advanced into Walton County's draft budget for fiscal year 2026 to 2027.
Why it matters: Advances roadway beautification and stormwater improvements along the Freeport U.S. 331 corridor and the 30A west gateway and lays groundwork for utility resilience upgrades across Walton County. The site is about 14 miles east of Costa Vista T H.

Governor DeSantis signed the state budget that included roughly $15 million for 20 Okaloosa County projects, among them $5 million for the Northwest Florida State College Workforce Innovation Center in Niceville, $1.5 million for Shalimar Bridge Park, and $3 million for Destin road and drainage work. About $7.26 million in other local requests were vetoed.

Frequently asked questions
How big is 11 Driftwood Road #Unit 7 and when was it built?
Per the listing record, 11 Driftwood Road #Unit 7 was built in 1985 and has 2 bedrooms and 2.5 bathrooms. Living area and lot size come from the MLS record and should be verified against the county property appraiser.
What community is 11 Driftwood Road #Unit 7 in?
11 Driftwood Road #Unit 7 is in Costa Vista T/H in Miramar Beach, Walton 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 11 Driftwood Road #Unit 7 differ from the current owner's?
The estimate on this page (about $4,625 per year) assumes reassessment at the list price less the homestead exemption. Estimated buyer taxes are about $925 more per year than the current owner’s estimated bill (+25%). 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 11 Driftwood Road #Unit 7 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.

Opinion & estimate — do not rely on this page. Any figure on this page that is not a verbatim fact from the listing or a public record — including estimated property taxes, insurance, CDD/HOA amounts, mortgage payments, comparable-sales summaries, and market statistics — is an opinion and estimate provided for general informational purposes only. These figures may be inaccurate or out of date, are not appraisals, valuations, or financial, legal, tax, or investment advice, and should not be relied upon. Do not make any purchase, offer, financing, or other decision based on this page. Independently verify everything — price, square footage, lot size, year built, taxes, CDD/HOA, flood status, school assignments, permits, and community rules — with the listing broker, the county, your lender, a licensed inspector, an insurer, and your own advisors before acting.
