Poinciana Place Condos for Sale

About Poinciana Place

On the county's maps, 320 Scenic Gulf Drive is Poinciana Place, a Miramar Beach condominium outside any city limits, in Walton County. Its parcel series, 33-2S-21-42831, holds 16 condominium units numbered 111 to 114, 121 to 124, 211 to 214 and 221 to 224, and the state tax-roll file returns the same 16 under its condominium use code. A seventeenth record in the county series, ending 00A0, covers about three-quarters of an acre and shows no use, owner or legal description, so it is not counted as a home.

Each unit's legal description names a one-sixteenth interest in the commons, and the legals that print a reference point to Official Records book 2045, page 265. The recorded shares are therefore equal. In the tax roll every unit carries 1999 as its actual year built, while the association's charter dates from April 27, 1998. The two entries come from different records, and neither is a completion certificate.

None of the records opened for this page counts floors, so the page lists none; unit numbers begin only with 1 or 2, which does not settle it. Section 553.899 of the Florida Statutes applies its milestone inspection only where a condominium building has at least three habitable stories, so the missing story count is the open question. If Poinciana Place qualifies and its completion certificate dates from 1999, the 30-year mark falls in 2029, and the local enforcement agency may move the date to 25 years where salt water proximity warrants. Ask the association whether an inspection has been done, who maintains the commons and which parking spaces belong to which unit, because the parcel files answer none of those.
