Buyer research checklist
Items worth confirming for 35 Red Bay Court, chosen from what the record shows. This is general guidance, not advice about this specific property.
- Built in 2005 (21 years): ask for the roof and HVAC replacement dates — insurers commonly ask for roof age on homes this old, and it changes the premium.
- Confirm whether a mandatory HOA applies to this parcel and what it charges.
- 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 $5,512/yr) assumes reassessment at the list price; the seller's homestead cap does not transfer, so their current bill is not a guide.
- 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 35 Red Bay Court and when was it built?
Per the listing record, 35 Red Bay Court was built in 2005 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 35 Red Bay Court in?
35 Red Bay Court is in Driftwood Estates in Santa Rosa Beach, Walton County. The community section on this page shows recent closed sales, days on market, and active inventory for Driftwood Estates from the same MLS data.
Why might property taxes on 35 Red Bay Court differ from the current owner's?
The estimate on this page (about $5,512 per year) assumes reassessment at the list price. Florida's Save Our Homes rule caps annual assessment increases for homesteaded owners, and the assessment resets after a sale, so a new owner's bill may differ from the seller's. Any tax figure shown here is an estimate, not the actual bill — confirm with the county property appraiser and tax collector.
Is 35 Red Bay Court 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.
