What the map draws
How to read the map
Each pin carries the project's number from the list below, in its status color. The ring around it shows how sure we are.
- Confirmed (solid ring). An official record backs this: a county or city agenda item, a permit, a state license or the state road program.
- Dashed line: the Santa Rosa Beach area shown here
- Pin colors: approved or under way, under review, proposed, denied or withdrawn (the badge on each project says which).
- 12 not on the map (no location found)
Projects, statuses and numbers are put together partly by AI from Walton County meeting documents, and partly straight from permit and license records, so they can be wrong. The map covers ZIP code 32459 (Santa Rosa Beach, Seagrove and Blue Mountain Beach; unincorporated, so there are no city limits). Every project page links to its sources. Sources: Walton County Planning Commission, Technical Review Committee and Board of County Commissioners agendas (projects within about 10 miles of Santa Rosa Beach); Northwest Florida Water Management District environmental resource permits; Florida Department of Business and Professional Regulation restaurant and hotel licensing files; Florida Department of Transportation Work Program; Walton County GIS and Property Appraiser parcel records. Map: OpenFreeMap, © OpenMapTiles, data © OpenStreetMap contributors. 71 more projects outside the Santa Rosa Beach area are kept in the data but not shown here. The neighborhood chips are the recorded subdivisions we can draw an outline for from the county's parcel records, so they cover platted neighborhoods and not the commercial corridors; a project is in one when its point falls inside that outline. "Near me" measures straight-line distance from your device, which is only used in your browser and never sent anywhere. Project data built Sep 26, 2026.

Growth since January 2025
How these are counted
- Every number covers the whole Santa Rosa Beach area since January 2025, whatever the filters on the map show, except the agenda count, which is the last 90 days.
- New homes approved adds up the homes or lots that plans given final approval are allowed, where a meeting agenda, minutes or packet states the number. It is the most a plan permits, not homes built, and plans that state no number are not in it, so the real total is higher. Where no approved plan states a number, the bar shows how many housing plans were approved instead.
- Acres rezoned adds up land-use changes and rezonings the commission adopted, using the acreage in the minutes or the county's parcel records. A rezoning still waiting for its final vote is not counted.
- On agendas, last 90 days counts projects with a commission or planning board meeting item in the last 90 days. FDOT road projects are not counted: they have no meeting dates.
- The numbers come from AI-assisted sorting of meeting items into projects and can be wrong. Each project page lists its sources.
