Buyer research checklist
Items worth confirming for 1817 Watson Boulevard, 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.
- HOA dues are listed at $38/mo: request the current budget, reserves, and rules before relying on that figure or on any restriction.
- 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 Monroe 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 $8,180/yr) assumes reassessment at the list price; the seller's current bill is not a guide Exemptions and portability change the actual bill — confirm with the county property appraiser.
- Confirm school zoning directly with the district.

Frequently asked questions
How big is 1817 Watson Boulevard and when was it built?
Per the listing record, 1817 Watson Boulevard was built in 1974 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 1817 Watson Boulevard in?
1817 Watson Boulevard is in Tropical Bay (30.5) in Big Pine Key, Monroe 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.
Does 1817 Watson Boulevard have an HOA, and how much are the dues?
The listing reports HOA dues of $38 per month. Dues, what they cover, and the community's rules should be confirmed from the association's current documents before relying on them.
Why might property taxes on 1817 Watson Boulevard differ from the current owner's?
The estimate on this page (about $8,180 per year) assumes reassessment at the list price less the homestead exemption. 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 1817 Watson Boulevard 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.
