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 4941-35-01-0041 and is comprised of a rectangular parcel inside the Florida Fruitlands Company Subdivision No. 1 located on the east side of the concrete barrier wall of the Florida Turnpike in Lauderhill. It measures approximately 25 feet by 418 feet, containing approximately 10,454 square feet. It is unsuitable for development due to its small size, shape and landlocked location.
Parcel 2 - Identified by Folio Number 4941-35-01-0040 and is comprised of two rectangular parcels inside the Florida Fruitlands Company Subdivision No. 1 located on the east side of the concrete barrier wall of the Florida Turnpike in Lauderhill. They measure approximately 25 feet by 331 feet and 25 feet by 668 feet, containing approximately 24,975 square feet. They are unsuitable for development due to their small size, shape and the southern parcel is landlocked.
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.
