Summary Explanation and Background:
Currently, Brevard County utilizes Rene Bates Auctioneers for all surplus inventory sales (land excluded). Rene Bates charges the County a fee for this service, 4.5% of each sale. In fiscal year 19, The County sold $608,433 and paid Rene Bates a fee of $27,379.
GovDeals charges the buyer a fee of 12.5% of the winning bid, after each auction closes, so there is no negative fiscal impact on Brevard County. This service will subsequently create a greater revenue for the County with the buyer’s paying the auction fee, not the County.
