Inlet Beach Heights Homes for Sale

Living in Inlet Beach Heights

Inlet Beach Heights is larger on the assessment roll than a name search shows. The state roll holds 421 parcels in the number range 36083-000-000 through 36459-001-000, and every parcel in that range belongs to the plat. Ten of them are filed under the abbreviation Inlet Beach Hts, so a search on the full name finds only 411. Bay County's parcel layer returns 422 numbers for the same range: 420 are common to both rolls, the state roll has one vacant lot the county layer lacks, and the county layer has two the state roll lacks.

The roll sorts the 421 parcels into 313 single-family homes, 71 vacant residential lots, four mobile homes, three small multifamily parcels, one residential common-area parcel on Front Beach Road, four parcels the county classes as county vacant, and 25 commercial-use parcels. Nineteen of the 25 carry Panama City Beach Parkway addresses; the others are on Palm Beach Drive, Pine Tree Drive, Sea Breeze Drive and Gulf View Drive. Palm Beach Drive is the largest street with 84 parcels, followed by Gulf View Drive with 72 and Pinetree Drive with 49, a street the roll also spells Pine Tree.

Lots are nearly uniform and houses are not. About four in five single-family and vacant parcels measure between roughly 4,900 and 5,900 square feet, with a median near 5,450. Living area runs from 538 to 3,672 square feet with a median of 1,623, and it climbs with the build year: about 1,280 square feet at the median for the 146 homes recorded before 2000, 1,675 for the 2000s, 1,810 for the 2010s and 2,060 for the 52 recorded from 2020 through 2025. Actual years run from 1950 to 2025, and 110 of the 313 homes are from 2010 or later.

County government, not a city, covers the plat. The municipal-boundary layer finds no incorporated ground inside a box drawn around all of it, and the nearest Panama City Beach limit is about half a mile away. Two flood maps give two answers. On the version FEMA made effective for Bay County on October 24, 2024, nothing in the plat is a special flood hazard area: every parcel is Zone X, 126 touch the shaded band for the 0.2 percent annual chance flood and 85 of those sit almost entirely inside it, with 99 of the 126 on Palm Beach Drive or Pinetree Drive. The county's older copy, edited January 28, 2022, still draws Zone AE at 8 feet over 21 parcels along Palm Beach Drive, Lake Powell Drive and the Parkway.
