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.
Certified 2025 tax roll values for this parcel (Florida DOR). The roll gives values, not the bill; the current owner’s bill above is estimated from the taxable value.

What it really costs to own 20 Lake Mist Lane
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 $8,925/yr (certified county roll, taxable value × millage). Buy at the asking price of $1,149,000 and the first-year bill resets to about $10,725/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. |
|---|---|
| HOA dues | $140/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 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 $3,000–$6,000/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 2021. A newer roof and current wind-mitigation features usually mean the lower end of insurance quotes; ask for the wind-mitigation form. |
Estimated carrying cost at the asking price, before the mortgage: about $1,196/month (tax $894, HOA $140, insurance $162). An estimate from the sources above, not a quote; the monthly-cost calculator on this page adds the loan.
Flood zone & elevation
Sourced environmental data for the parcel. Confirm with FEMA and your insurer.
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.
Walton 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.

Items worth confirming for 20 Lake Mist Lane, chosen from what the record shows. This is general guidance, not advice about this specific property.
- Built in 2021: confirm the roof and HVAC install dates and whether any builder or manufacturer warranty transfers.
- HOA dues are listed at $140/mo: request the current budget, reserves, and rules before relying on that figure or on any restriction.
- 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 Walton 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 $10,725/yr) assumes reassessment at the list price less the homestead exemption. Estimated buyer taxes are about $1,800 more per year than the current owner’s estimated bill (+20%). 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 20 Lake Mist Lane and when was it built?
Per the listing record, 20 Lake Mist Lane was built in 2021 and has 4 bedrooms and 4.0 bathrooms. Living area and lot size come from the MLS record and should be verified against the county property appraiser.
What community is 20 Lake Mist Lane in?
20 Lake Mist Lane is in The Preserve At Inlet Beach in Inlet 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.
Does 20 Lake Mist Lane have an HOA, and how much are the dues?
The listing reports HOA dues of $140 per month. Dues, what they cover, and the community's rules should be confirmed from the association's current documents before relying on them.
Why might property taxes on 20 Lake Mist Lane differ from the current owner's?
The estimate on this page (about $10,725 per year) assumes reassessment at the list price less the homestead exemption. Estimated buyer taxes are about $1,800 more per year than the current owner’s estimated bill (+20%). 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 20 Lake Mist Lane 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.

Tax estimates apply county millage to the list price (less the homestead exemption where the parcel is matched to the certified roll) and will differ from the actual assessed bill. Cost and market figures are derived from available data and simple calculations, not a professional appraisal. We make no representation that any estimate reflects fair market value.
