Before you decide

Buyer research checklist

Items worth confirming for 891 Choctawhatchee River Road, chosen from what the record shows. This is general guidance, not advice about this specific property.

  • Built in 1997 (29 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 AE: lenders generally require flood insurance here — get an elevation certificate and a flood quote before the inspection period ends.
  • 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.
  • 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 $4,089/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 891 Choctawhatchee River Road and when was it built?

Per the listing record, 891 Choctawhatchee River Road was built in 1997 and has 2 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 891 Choctawhatchee River Road in?

891 Choctawhatchee River Road is in Choctawhatchee River Estates in Ponce De Leon, Walton County. The community section on this page shows recent closed sales, days on market, and active inventory for Choctawhatchee River Estates from the same MLS data.

Why might property taxes on 891 Choctawhatchee River Road differ from the current owner's?

The estimate on this page (about $4,089 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 891 Choctawhatchee River Road in a flood zone?

The FEMA flood map places this parcel in Zone AE, a special flood hazard area where lenders generally require flood insurance on a mortgaged purchase. Confirm the parcel's status with FEMA and your insurer, and ask for an elevation certificate.

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.
