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.

What it really costs to own 437 Admiral Court
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 $18,400/yr (certified county roll, taxable value × millage). Buy at the asking price of $2,835,000 and the first-year bill resets to about $35,900/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 $9,000–$18,500/yr; neither is a quote. |
| Roof and age | Built in 2010. An original roof would be about 16 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. |

Buyer research checklist
Items worth confirming for 437 Admiral Court, chosen from what the record shows. This is general guidance, not advice about this specific property.
- Built in 2010 (16 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.
- Look up the parcel on FEMA's Flood Map Service Center and confirm with your insurer whether flood insurance is required.
- 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.
- Waterfront: confirm seawall or dock condition and permits, and ask who owns and maintains the shoreline.
- 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 $35,900/yr) assumes reassessment at the list price less the homestead exemption. Estimated buyer taxes are about $17,500 more per year than the current owner’s estimated bill (+95%). 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 437 Admiral Court and when was it built?
Per the listing record, 437 Admiral Court was built in 2010 and has 5 bedrooms and 6.5 bathrooms. Living area and lot size come from the MLS record and should be verified against the county property appraiser.
What community is 437 Admiral Court in?
437 Admiral Court is in Regatta Bay 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 437 Admiral Court differ from the current owner's?
The estimate on this page (about $35,900 per year) assumes reassessment at the list price less the homestead exemption. Estimated buyer taxes are about $17,500 more per year than the current owner’s estimated bill (+95%). 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 437 Admiral Court in a flood zone?
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.
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.
