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. Details of each parcel not suitable for further development are as follows:
Parcel 1 - Identified by Folio Number 5042-05-01-0810 and is comprised of a rectangular site within the Washington Park Subdivision located at 2200 NW 6th Court in Fort Lauderdale. It measures approximately 40 feet by 112 feet, containing approximately 4,502 square feet. It is unsuitable for development due to its small size.
Parcel 2 - Identified by Folio Number 4942-17-15-0011 and is comprised of a square-shaped site within the FBC Plat No. 1 Subdivision located at West Prospect Road in Fort Lauderdale. It measures approximately 30 feet by 30 feet, containing approximately 898 square feet. It is unsuitable for development due to its small size, and it is already developed with a City of Fort Lauderdale Utilities Operations sewer lift station.
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.
