Park Fee Waived by County on Certain Subdivisions
Okaloosa County Commissioners overturned a Planning and Zoning panel ruling to keep planned developments within a subdivision paying a park and recreation fee. The commission raised the 5 percent recreation fee for PDPs with a condition that recorded subdivisions patios recorded after 1974 not pay if already assessed. The move drew opposition from Destin resident Warren Shuck and others who warn of density increases and inequity. County faces a sales tax shortfall, with revised revenue projections down 5.6 percent to about 2.079 million dollars.

Destin/South Walton projects remain stable while South Florida markets falter. Developers report strong unit sales at Edgewater Beach and other Destin sites, with 60 units sold in 60 days and crowds of buyers unseen in peak season. Prices cover a range with better demand in higher end units, while townhomes may face future adjustments. Destin continues to attract lenders and buyers despite higher interest rates.
