Las Palmas

Walton County records Las Palmas under series 02-3S-20-34660. The legal header and the parcel series anchor this guide to Las Palmas Way in Santa Rosa Beach, preventing same-name Florida properties from entering the record.

The County parcel response contains 11 entries and 11 unique identifiers. Ten rows expressly describe Lots 1 through 10, generally with Plat Book 16, page 49 references. The remaining record, suffix 00A0, describes Las Palmas Way and carries a residential-common assessment label rather than an eleventh numbered lot.

All 10 numbered rows are labeled single family and the common row is labeled residential common. Those descriptions help sort assessment records; they do not prove current improvements, occupancy, condition, ownership, rental activity, permits, utilities, or construction feasibility. A buyer still needs exact-parcel and physical review.

The address service returns 11 entries across the same 11 identifiers. Numbered records carry 10 different Las Palmas Way street numbers, while the common suffix carries 61 Las Palmas Way and a zero-unit field. Addresses and unit fields support reconciliation, not a census of residences or lawful uses.

The County header says Las Palmas S/D was recorded January 25, 2005 in Plat Book 16, page 49. A 2026 County staff history says the plat was recorded January 1, 2005 while citing the same plat book and page. The reviewed sources do not reconcile those dates, so both remain disclosed.

The plat image in the County packet labels Lots 1 through 10 along Las Palmas Way and describes a replat involving Government Lot 5 in Section 2, Township 3 South, Range 20 West. It is useful identity evidence, but only a current survey and title work can define a specific parcel today.

Sunbiz lists Las Palmas Homeowners Association, Inc., document N04000002780, filed and effective March 18, 2004 and presently active. Its public record includes recent annual reports and Santa Rosa Beach addresses. Corporate status confirms an entity; it does not establish the obligations attached to a particular property.

No official association website or complete current document library was located. Obtain the recorded declaration and amendments, articles, bylaws, rules, architectural procedures, budgets, minutes, insurance information, resale disclosures, payoff, and estoppel. Verify membership and every charge or restriction against the exact parcel.

Walton County project VAR26-000016 addressed Lot 8 at 35 Las Palmas Way, not the subdivision as a whole. The request sought to reduce a 15-foot rear setback and a 13-foot platted rear easement to 2.1 feet on a 0.084-acre subject parcel. Those dimensions are application facts, not community standards.

The cover-level finding says the request appeared to satisfy minimum requirements. The detailed analysis says no apparent special circumstance deprived reasonable use, the need appeared self-created without proven hardship, and approval would confer a special privilege. That conflict prevents the packet from being summarized as uniformly favorable.

The packet identifies Mixed Use future land use and Village Mixed Use zoning for the application parcel. Its flood, wetland, drainage, engineering, and fire materials are likewise parcel-level and dated. None establishes the current zoning, flood zone, wetlands, drainage behavior, safety condition, or buildable envelope of every Las Palmas lot.

The official April 23, 2026 meeting video records a motion and second to deny, an affirmative vote on that denial, and the chair's statement that the variance was denied. A 30-day appeal window was announced. The reviewed public record did not establish whether an appeal followed or how any later process ended.

The hearing discussed unresolved association, easement, drainage, stormwater-plan, and public-works issues, but the denial does not itself settle them. It also does not establish the status of an existing deck, future repair rights, permit eligibility, title conditions, or what another parcel could build. Those questions require their own current records.

Florida's current North Florida condominium file contains unrelated Las Palmas names in other counties, but no Walton County project matching this subdivision. The approved-timeshare file likewise supplies no matching Las Palmas project here. County lot, plat, road, and association evidence support a residential-community classification.

The owner export exposes no compatible Las Palmas subdivision filter. The accepted Santa Rosa Beach route was live-tested and retained a city heading, but it covers a much larger market. It must never be presented as an exact Las Palmas search, and its changing inventory count is intentionally omitted.

A future result should match the full 02-3S-20-34660 parcel identifier, legal description, and Las Palmas Way evidence before it is treated as part of this subdivision. Street-name resemblance, city placement, marketing language, or an agent's subdivision field cannot replace that reconciliation.

Walton County operates a vacation-rental registration program, but public registration does not prove private permission. Verify land-use rules, licensing, taxes, safety and occupancy requirements, parking, insurance, actual rental history, and the complete governing package for the subject property and intended use.

A compact neighborhood outline and a dated variance map cannot determine current FEMA zone, elevation, drainage exposure, wind mitigation, carrier eligibility, premium, deductible, or loss history for a home. Reconcile current mapping with survey or elevation evidence, permits, inspections, claims, lender terms, and property-specific quotes.

After the content cleared review, the Atlas copied the existing County-derived community feature and contained marker as orientation aids. Neither replaces a boundary survey, parcel geometry, title commitment, easement analysis, access confirmation, flood determination, or written review of current association obligations.
