Assumptions used
- State base only: The local tax layer remains a disclosed factor because the legacy review did not close a uniform official taxable base and boundary for this city slug.
What may change the final amount
- Local district applicability. Florida county discretionary-surtax and tourist-development layers can vary by property address, incorporated boundary, or tourist-development district. The calculator models only the common source-backed layers listed above; verify the parcel with the local collector before treating the estimate as final.
- Stay and mandatory-fee treatment. A qualifying long-term or continuous-residence stay, statutory exemption, marketplace collection arrangement, or a mandatory-fee category treated differently by the authority can change the result. The calculator assumes an ordinary transient taxable stay and one mandatory-fee pool.
- Walton County South/North TDT district. Walton County official materials state 5% South of Choctawhatchee Bay and 3% North of the bay, with the district verification PDF listing the covered ZIP codes and communities. The calculator includes only the Florida state base; it cannot select the local rate from a county name or free-text address.
Estimated tax is $27.00. Estimated guest total is $477.00.
