Residents press county on long‑running Driftwood/Sandestin code enforcement, administrators cite litigation limits

During the public‑comment period, Tabitha Howard delivered an extended statement alleging the county failed to produce an independent engineering report she said the board had promised in 2021 regarding Driftwood Estates and Sandestin DRRI concerns. Howard described repeated assurances that a report would be delivered "within a week or two" and said, "Five years later, where is that report?" She said the failure to deliver left her and her family personally harmed and accused county code enforcement and property managers of contributing to harassment and bans from private properties.
