Wakulla County Approves Resolution Declaring the Wakulla County Airport as Surplus Property and Authorizing Conveyance of the Airport to the Tarpine Homeowners Association, Inc.
Crawfordville, Florida – At the April 4, 2022, Wakulla County Board of County Commissioners Meeting, the Board voted to finalize the conveyance of ownership, operation, and maintenance of the Wakulla County Airport (Airport) to the Tarpine Homeowners Association (HOA). The Tarpine HOA represents property owners within the Tarpine Subdivision, a fly-in neighborhood adjacent to the Airport.
Located three miles south of Panacea in the Ochlockonee Bay community, the Airport has one grass runway, Runway 18/36, which is 2,590 feet long by 70 feet wide. In 2017, the County initiated efforts to identify a direction for the future of the Airport. Most recently in November 2021, the Board directed County staff to move forward with conveyance of the Airport and related personal property, including the Airport license, to the Tarpine HOA, leading to the resolution that was approved last night.
