About $7.26 million in other local requests were vetoed.

Before you decide
Buyer research checklist
Items worth confirming for 512 Lemongrass Lane, chosen from what the record shows. This is general guidance, not advice about this specific property.
Built in 2024: confirm the roof and HVAC install dates and whether any builder or manufacturer warranty transfers.
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.
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 $9,869/yr) assumes reassessment at the list price; the seller's homestead cap does not transfer, so their current bill is not a guide.

Frequently asked questions
How big is 512 Lemongrass Lane and when was it built?
Per the listing record, 512 Lemongrass Lane was built in 2024 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 512 Lemongrass Lane in?
512 Lemongrass Lane is in Deer Moss Creek in Niceville, Okaloosa County. The community section on this page shows recent closed sales, days on market, and active inventory for Deer Moss Creek from the same MLS data.
Why might property taxes on 512 Lemongrass Lane differ from the current owner's?
The estimate on this page (about $9,869 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 512 Lemongrass Lane 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.
