Blue Tide Condos for Sale

About Blue Tide

Blue Tide, in Walton County's Inlet Beach, is addressed 8394 East County Highway 30A. Nineteen parcels in the county file bear its name: eighteen homes labeled 1-A through 9-B, plus about 1.2 acres of common ground titled to Bluetide Condo Association. State tax-roll data dates every one of the eighteen homes to 1984.

On the parcel outlines the homes fall in two parallel rows. The nine A homes make up the northern row and the nine B homes the row immediately south of it, so the letter marks a position on the ground as well as a label. Nothing consulted for Blue Tide states how many floors it has, so no floor count appears here. A buyer should confirm the layout and level of a particular home from its own listing and the condominium plan.

The flood map divides the two rows. Every A parcel lies in Zone X, which the county's flood-zone table places outside the 500-year floodplain. Every B parcel reaches into Zone VE, where the base flood elevation is 11 feet, a coastal zone the same table describes as subject to the 100-year flood plus wave-action velocity hazard. Sampling the outlines puts that VE ground at roughly one-seventh to nearly half of each B parcel, and the common-area parcel reaches VE at 11 and 12 feet. The county layer matches FEMA's national layer on every outline.

Built in 1984, Blue Tide passed its thirtieth year before the July 1, 2022 cutoff written into section 553.899, so if any of its buildings reaches three habitable stories, the first milestone inspection was due before December 31, 2024. No loaded source says whether Blue Tide meets that height test, so ask the association whether a report was filed and what it found.
