According to Walton County records obtained by FlaCPR, Walton County failed to effectively notice 1,280 interested parties, including over 260 owners of parcels that Walton County claims is subject to customary use. As a result, on February 22, 2019 Walton County mailed a second set of registered notices. Walton County was instructed on February 18, 2019 to effectively notice all owners by April 19, 2019 and report to the court. Effective notice is outlined and required in Florida Statute 163.035, to ensure all property owners are aware of the lawsuit.
