About Valencia

Valencia is a bay address, and the county record settles three figures this page previously left blank. Okaloosa County assesses 60 condominium parcels to an actual construction year of 1973, a header record filed above them gives the total as 60 units, and the situs file distributes them ten to a level across six levels, numbered 101 through 610. That evenness is real rather than a default value: the county's per-residence level value takes six distinct values across the 60 residences rather than repeating a single number, which is what a placeholder would look like. The setting is the older, less trafficked side of Destin's peninsula. The parcel covers 3.00 acres and meets Choctawhatchee Bay along its boundary without overlapping any part of it. The Gulf lies about 5,700 feet off. The state coastal construction control line is nearer than that, roughly 3,400 feet, but the county's mapping of it does not reach this parcel at any point, which is why none of the beachfront construction regime that shapes buildings a mile south reaches this ground. Flood mapping refuses to treat the parcel as one thing. Four designations fall across it: VE areas at base flood elevations of 12 and 11 feet nearest the water, then an area of minimal hazard, then a 0.2 percent annual chance area, so exposure varies substantially inside a single address. The immediate neighbors are two detached-home parcels and a 0.36 acre burial ground recorded to Marler Cemetery Inc. Two public waterfront parks stand a short walk along the same street. Clement Taylor Park, at 131 Calhoun Avenue, falls inside a quarter mile of this parcel and covers 3.39 acres in the city's ownership, with a beach area, pavilion, gazebo and restrooms. Captain Leonard Destin Park, at 101 Calhoun Avenue, sits just past that radius, first appearing at about 1,325 feet, and covers 3.42 acres that the county's park file records to the Trust for Public Land, with a pier, a splash pad and a board and kayak launch.

HOA & Fees

An assessed year of 1973 is the first thing to ask about here, and what has been replaced since is the second. Florida Statutes 553.899 reaches a residential condominium building of three or more stories and fixes its milestone inspection at December 31 of the year the building turns 30, a date this one passed long ago, so the question is not whether the requirement applies but what the completed inspection found and what the board did about it. Request the report, the reserve study and the repair history as one package rather than in sequence. Ask as well how the association handles its shoreline, because the roll shows the 60 residences and a header record and nothing further, no dock and no common area parcel, so whatever exists at the water's edge is defined in the declaration rather than assessed.

Rental Policy

This page does not say whether a residence here may be rented, and the declaration together with the association's current rules are the only documents that do. On the city side, Destin names the zoning districts where short stays are generally permitted, and Calhoun Mixed Use is among them. A street name is not a zoning assignment, though, and the county parcel record carries no city district for this parcel, so the city's zoning map has to be consulted for the actual answer at this address before anything is planned around it.

Building Answers

Valencia FAQ

How old is Valencia, and how many residences does it hold?

Sixty residences assessed to a construction year of 1973. A county header record filed above those parcels gives the count as 60 units, and the address file places ten on each of six levels, numbered 101 through 610. All three figures were missing from this page until the county supplied them.

Is Valencia on the Gulf?

No, and not near it. The parcel meets Choctawhatchee Bay along its boundary, and the Gulf shoreline lies about 5,700 feet away, a little over a mile. The state coastal construction control line is closer, roughly 3,400 feet, but the decisive point is that the county's mapping of that line does not reach this parcel at all, so none of the beachfront construction rules touch this ground.

What stands next to Valencia on Calhoun Avenue?

Two detached-home parcels and a 0.36 acre burial ground recorded to Marler Cemetery Inc. The county's park inventory lists two more waterfront holdings a short walk along the same street, one owned by the city and the other recorded to the Trust for Public Land, together carrying a beach area, a pier, a kayak launch and restrooms.
