✓ Certified tax roll · county-average rate
Estimated property taxes after purchase
$5,400/yr

Estimate: asking price less the $50,000 homestead exemption × Okaloosa County rate (12.89 mills, county-average millage, 2025; verify with the property appraiser). Not a bill.
⚠️

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 $5,225/yr ($435/mo) — taxable value $404,797 × 12.89 mills
$175 more each year
(+3%)

The current owner’s taxable value is below today’s asking price; after a sale the assessment is set from market value, so the estimated bill is higher. Exemptions and portability can reduce it.

Before you decide

Buyer research checklist

Items worth confirming for 628 Mountain Drive, chosen from what the record shows. This is general guidance, not advice about this specific property.

  • Built in 1974 (52 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 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 $5,400/yr) assumes reassessment at the list price less the homestead exemption. Estimated buyer taxes are about $175 more per year than the current owner’s estimated bill (+3%). 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.

Answered before you ask

Frequently asked questions

How big is 628 Mountain Drive and when was it built?

Per the listing record, 628 Mountain Drive was built in 1974 and has 4 bedrooms and 3.0 bathrooms. Living area and lot size come from the MLS record and should be verified against the county property appraiser.

What community is 628 Mountain Drive in?

628 Mountain Drive is in Sea Hills 1St 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 628 Mountain Drive differ from the current owner's?

The estimate on this page (about $5,400 per year) assumes reassessment at the list price less the homestead exemption. Estimated buyer taxes are about $175 more per year than the current owner’s estimated bill (+3%). 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 628 Mountain Drive 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.

Estimate methodology. 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.
