Summary Explanation/Background
THE PUBLIC WORKS DEPARTMENT/FACILITIES MANAGEMENT DIVISION/REAL PROPERTY SECTION RECOMMENDS APPROVAL OF THE ABOVE MOTION.
The two parcels of land escheated to Broward County for non-payment of taxes. Titles were conveyed to the County via tax deeds pursuant to Florida Statutes, Section 197.502(8) since there were no bidders at public sale.
Parcel 1 - Identified by Folio Number 4942-11-00-0460 located at the intersection of NE 56 Street and North Dixie Highway in Oakland Park. It measures approximately 6,547 square feet. It is unsuitable for development due to its configuration and location.
Parcel 2 - Identified by Folio Number 4942-28-00-0264 located on NW 27th Street, west of CSX Railroad in Oakland Park. It measures approximately 1,307 square feet. It is unsuitable for development due to its configuration and location.
All applicable County agencies were solicited for potential County use of the properties or rights therein; no current or future use was identified. The former owners of these properties did not file a verified application seeking a return of their respective property. Pursuant to Florida Statutes, Section 197.592(3), properties escheated to the County for delinquent ad valorem taxes which have not been previously sold or dedicated and which have not been conveyed to the former record fee simple owner, shall be conveyed to the municipality in which the properties are located.
All documents have been reviewed and approved as to form by the Office of the County Attorney.
