Summary Explanation/Background
THE PUBLIC WORKS DEPARTMENT/FACILITIES MANAGEMENT DIVISION/REAL PROPERTY SECTION RECOMMENDS APPROVAL OF THE ABOVE ACTION.
The two properties 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 5141-20-26-1440 and is located at East Lake Miramar Circle in Miramar. It measures approximately 25 feet x 883.16 feet, containing approximately 22,079 square feet. It is unsuitable for development due to its configuration.
Parcel 2 - Identified by Folio Number 5141-28-02-0071 and is located north of 3308 Knolls Road in Miramar. It measures approximately 5 feet x 115 feet, containing approximately 575 square feet. It is unsuitable for development due to its configuration.
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.
