Blu Condos for Sale

About Blu

Blu is one recorded condominium of 47 residences at 858 Scallop Court, filed under Okaloosa County parcel numbers that begin 00-2S-24-5555. Florida's statewide parcel file lists 47 distinct parcels in that series, each classed as a condominium unit with a 2019 year built, and no header or common-area parcel among them. That is the assessor's recorded year built; the certificate of occupancy carries its own date. The 2019 figure is the one to hold against the older buildings listed among condos for sale in Fort Walton Beach.

Unit numbers run from 100 to 607. Level one holds seven homes, with no unit 104, and each of the five levels above holds eight. Those levels come from the numbers alone, since the parcel file carries no story count; the certificate of occupancy states the official one. Recorded living area is large and fairly uniform, from 1,837 to 2,203 square feet: twenty-eight homes record 1,837, eleven record 2,053, six record 1,957, and two level-one homes record 2,203. The plan tends to follow the number: a home ending in 00 is the 1,957 layout and one ending in 07 is a 2,053 layout whatever its level, while level one's two largest homes are 103 and 105, either side of the unused 104. A buyer can match closings on the Blu condo market analytics by the last two digits of the unit number and compare like with like.

The Fort Walton Beach community page describes the city on Blu's mailing address, but Census Bureau boundary files put every corner of the Blu outline outside all incorporated places, so the city's own ordinances are not where its rules begin. Three FEMA flood zones share Blu's ground. Zone VE, with a 14-foot base flood elevation, takes roughly a third of the outline; Zone AO, mapped at a flood depth of 3 feet, takes roughly half; Zone AE at 8 feet takes the remaining sixth or so. That describes the ground under the site as a whole. For a specific unit, the document to request is its elevation certificate.

If Blu has three or more habitable stories, as its unit numbering suggests, Florida's milestone inspection law reaches it. If the certificate of occupancy was also issued in 2019, the first inspection is due by December 31, 2049, or by December 31, 2044 if the local enforcement agency applies the 25-year interval the statute allows for conditions such as salt-water proximity.

HOA & Fees

What is the HOA fee at Blu?

As of November 11, 2026, the 4 Blu condos for sale that report a fee on the MLS list HOA fees from $1,790 to $2,000 a month, with a median of $2,000 a month. Fees vary with unit size and type, so the fee for a specific residence is the one its listing and the association state.

Based on 4 active MLS listings that report an HOA fee.

Blu Condominium Association, Inc. is an active Florida nonprofit, filed July 7, 2016 and reinstated in September 2018, with 858 Scallop Court as its principal address and a 2026 annual report on file. The state record lists a president, vice president, treasurer and a community association manager among its officers. It says nothing about dues, what the master policy covers or how reserves are funded. Ask for the operating budget, the reserve schedule, the policy declarations page, recent minutes, any special assessment history, and an estoppel certificate for the specific unit.

Rental Policy

Short-term rentals: allowed. Confirm the current minimum stay and registration with the association.

Nothing about guest stays at Blu has been checked yet: no declaration, rule or ordinance. Two facts narrow the search. Census maps place 858 Scallop Court outside every city, so city rental rules drop away. That leaves the Blu declaration and any Okaloosa County requirement. Second, Florida's lodging law draws a line at more than three rentals a year of under 30 days each. A Blu unit advertised as regularly rented that way crosses it too. The unit's rental record and its ads decide this, not the owner's intent. Check that history before you buy.

Building Answers

Blu FAQ

How much is the HOA fee at Blu?

As of November 11, 2026, the 4 Blu condos for sale that report a fee on the MLS list HOA fees from $1,790 to $2,000 a month, with a median of $2,000 a month. Fees vary with unit size and type, so the fee for a specific residence is the one its listing and the association state.

Can Blu condos on Scallop Court be rented by the night or week?

Blu's recorded declaration and Okaloosa County's rules set that, because Census files put the site outside every incorporated place and the city's rental rules do not reach it. The association holds the declaration and any rule on guest stays. State law adds a line of its own: under Chapter 509, a unit rented for stays shorter than 30 days more than three times in a year becomes transient public lodging.

How big are the homes at Blu in Fort Walton Beach?

Blu's homes record from 1,837 to 2,203 square feet of living area. Twenty-eight homes record 1,837, eleven record 2,053, six record 1,957, and the two level-one homes numbered 103 and 105 record 2,203. On every level, a unit ending in 00 carries the 1,957 plan and one ending in 07 a 2,053 plan.

Does Blu's Fort Walton Beach address put it under city rules?

The postal address reads Fort Walton Beach, but Census Bureau boundary files place the whole Blu outline outside every incorporated place. That makes it unincorporated Okaloosa County, which matters for any rule that belongs to a city rather than the county.

What flood zones cross the Blu property?

Three FEMA flood zones cross Blu's ground. Close to a third of it is coastal high-hazard Zone VE at 14 feet, a little over half is shallow-flooding Zone AO with a 3-foot depth, and the rest is Zone AE at 8 feet. The zones describe the land; a unit's elevation certificate shows which one lies under that home.

When is Blu due for its first milestone inspection?

Assuming the building has three or more habitable stories and a 2019 certificate of occupancy, the deadline is the end of 2049, or the end of 2044 if the local agency adopts the 25-year option. The association can say whether it has received any notice from the county.
