Single-family home · Beach Highland
249 Baird Rd
Parcel 04-3S-20-34020-00A-0400 · Beach Highland
Sold as a new home on Mar 29, 2023. The 2026 tax roll still lists the lot as vacant, because it describes each property as it stood on January 1; the next roll will describe the house.
Value
County just value · 2026 preliminary
$1,811,703
Most of the change is the house itself: it was built in 2024, so the earlier figures are what the empty lot was worth. Land is 28% of it.

County value over time
County value over time
This is just value: the property appraiser's estimate of what the property would sell for. It is not what anybody paid, and it is not the assessed or taxable value, which are just value after the caps and exemptions a particular owner qualifies for.
Each year is one Department of Revenue roll. A year we hold no roll for is left out rather than guessed, and the newest year is marked “preliminary” while it can still change.
The land figure is the roll's own; everything above it is the buildings and other improvements on the parcel.
Every year
| Year | Just value | Land |
|---|---|---|
| 2026 · preliminary | $1,811,703 | $500,000 |
| 2025 | $1,981,531 | $500,000 |
| 2024 | $545,200 | $535,600 |
| 2023 | $535,600 | $535,600 |
| 2022 | $466,948 | $466,948 |
2026 is still the preliminary roll, so that figure can change before the county finalises it.
Risk
Flood zone
Flood zone
This is where the lot sits on FEMA's flood map, including every map revision in effect, as of June 18, 2026.
High risk is FEMA's Special Flood Hazard Area (zones starting A or V): a 1% chance of flooding in any year. Moderate is a 0.2% chance (shaded X). Minimal is outside both (zone X).
A lot that crosses zones shows the highest risk covering at least 5% of it, so a sliver along a boundary does not change the headline.
It is not a flood insurance determination. A lender decides from where the building stands and its elevation, and an elevation certificate or a Letter of Map Amendment can change the answer for one building.
Outside FEMA's mapped floodplains. Minimal is not none: heavy rain floods places outside them too.

A home counts as owner-occupied when it has a homestead exemption, which is the owner's own declaration to the county that the home is their permanent residence.
This is a share of every home in Beach Highland, and it says nothing about this property. We never publish it for an area with fewer than 25 homes, because in a small enough group of houses a percentage points at a particular house.
The rest are second homes, holiday lets, rentals, and homes whose owners simply have not claimed the exemption. The records do not say which.
41% of the 161 homes in Beach Highland are owner-occupied.
From homestead exemptions on the 2026 Preliminary roll. About the area, not about this property.
About this data
The property facts and the yearly values come from the Walton County property appraiser's roll as published by the Florida Department of Revenue. The sales are the Department's qualified sales, and the lot outline is the county's own parcel file.
Adjusted area is the county's weighted size of everything built on the parcel: heated rooms count in full, and a garage, porch or other unheated space counts in part. It is usually larger than the heated living area a listing quotes. The roll carries no separate heated area, bedroom or bathroom count.
We publish no owner name or mailing address anywhere on this site, and the files the site is built from do not contain them.
What a roll says is right as of the day the county sent it to the state, so a recent change — a house finished, a lot split — can take a year to appear. Sales are recorded months after they happen.
