Inlet Sands Condos for Sale

About Inlet Sands

Walton County files Inlet Sands at 126 South Walton Lakeshore Drive in Inlet Beach. The three municipalities on the county's boundary map, Paxton, DeFuniak Springs and Freeport, reach none of its parcels, so the building stands on unincorporated county ground. The tax roll lists 18 residences under the condominium name, apartments 101 through 106, 201 through 206 and 301 through 306, plus one common-area parcel titled to Inlet Sands Owners Association Inc.

The roll carries no construction year and no floor count. The three hundred-series hint at three levels, but a door number is not a floor count, so none is given here. Sale history does reach back: the earliest transfer listed for any apartment is dated July 1985, so apartments had already changed hands by then, which is a sale date and not a construction year. All 18 apartments also carry the same appraised value, which means the county assessment cannot rank one residence above another.

On FEMA's national flood map, no Inlet Sands parcel reaches a special flood hazard area. About a third of the association's ground, which surrounds the apartment block and covers a little under six-tenths of an acre, falls within the flood band FEMA labels 0.2 percent annual chance, while the remainder is minimal-hazard Zone X. As the county draws the apartment outlines, that band reaches five of the six 100-series apartments and none of the 200 or 300 series. A zone describes ground; an apartment's own elevation certificate is what fixes its height against flood.
