Summary Explanation/Background
COUNTY ADMINISTRATION/REAL PROPERTY SECTION RECOMMENDS APPROVAL OF THE ABOVE MOTION.
The property escheated to Broward County for non-payment of taxes. Title was conveyed to the County via tax deed pursuant to Florida Statutes, Section 197.502(8) since there were no bidders at public sale.
The property is identified by Folio Number 5040-05-02-0980 and is comprised of a portion of a golf course located north of Ivy Lane in Weston. The parcel contains approximately 63,867 square feet. It is unsuitable for development due to its size and configuration.
All applicable County agencies were solicited for potential County use of the property or rights therein; no current or future use was identified. The former owner of this property 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 property is located.
All documents have been reviewed and approved as to form by the Office of the County Attorney.
