    Living in Sweet Bay

    Walton County's subdivision header reads SWEET BAY S/D, recorded November 23, 2004 in Plat Book 16, page 41, covering all of three earlier parcels in series 25-3S-18-16090. The county roll for series 25-3S-18-16110 lists 22 parcels in 23 rows, because the common parcel is recorded in two pieces: 21 lots numbered 1 through 21, and one parcel for the plat's streets, common areas and limited common areas, together about 0.73 acre, with Sweet Bay Owners Association in its owner field. By county use code, 12 lots are single family and nine are vacant.

    The statewide roll, refreshed to 2026, has 11 residential lots, 10 vacant and the two common-area rows, so it counts one lot differently from the county. It records years built of 2015 and 2016 for one home each and 2023 through 2025 for the other nine: two in 2023, three in 2024 and four in 2025. Lots run from about 0.12 to 0.58 acre, with Lots 9 through 12 the largest at 0.37 to 0.58 acre.

    County address points sit inside 15 of the 22 parcels, 16 points in all, and every one reads Pine Cone Trail, Inlet Beach, Florida 32461, in Walton County. The seven parcels with no point are the vacant Lots 2, 3, 7, 12, 15, 16 and 18, so a street-address search will miss them; match by parcel number and lot instead. On the county planning map, Sweet Bay sits entirely within the Inlet Beach TNP overlay (entry reference: Appendix C NP-7 Area, updated Ordinance 2026-09).

    Flood mapping splits Sweet Bay. Lots 9 through 12 each reach into Zone AE, where the mapped base flood elevation is 10 feet, over roughly a tenth to a quarter of their area, and into the 0.2 percent annual chance shaded area; only Lot 9 has its center in Zone AE. The other 18 parcels never leave unshaded Zone X, and FEMA's national layer returns the same zones.

    The August 20, 2026 search reading of no active listings and 10 closed sales in Inlet Beach left out 21 similarly named rows in Panama City. It is a past reading, not a count of lots, and the name search should be rerun before anyone leans on it.

    Which recorded family anchors a Sweet Bay property comparison?

    Start with series 25-3S-18-16110, recorded November 23, 2004 in Plat Book 16, page 41. Lots are numbered 1 through 21 and the common parcel's number ends in 00A0, so a given record is pinned down by its parcel number plus its lot number.

    How do Sweet Bay's 22 county parcels divide?

    Twelve lots are coded single family, nine vacant, and one parcel is common area, which the county records in two pieces and so shows as two rows. These are county use codes, not a count of finished or occupied homes; the state roll counts 11 residential and 10 vacant lots.

    Why do some Sweet Bay lots have no street address?

    County address points sit inside 15 of the 22 parcels, all on Pine Cone Trail in Inlet Beach 32461. The seven parcels without one are vacant lots, so an address search will not find them.

    Which Sweet Bay lots reach a flood zone with a mapped elevation?

    Lots 9, 10, 11 and 12 each reach into Zone AE, with a base flood elevation of 10 feet, and the other 18 parcels sit entirely in Zone X. Running the same outlines through FEMA's national layer gave identical zones. Neither is a survey of any one house.

    Why were Panama City name matches excluded from Sweet Bay results?

    The name Sweet Bay also appears on rows in Panama City, so the August 20, 2026 reading was limited to Inlet Beach: zero active and 10 closed sales, with 21 Panama City rows left out. A fresh comparison needs the same city boundary.
