Summary Explanation and Background:
On March 24, 2020, the Board of County Commissioners approved the disposal of surplus parcel ID 24-35-01-25-8-9 / Tax ID 2400616 consisting of 0.09 +/- of an acre located off Grissom Parkway, Cocoa. The parcel is assessed by the Brevard County Property Appraiser at $110.00 and was acquired via eminent domain in April of 1992.
Brevard County Ordinance Section 2-243 (a), Sale of real property by private sale to adjacent property owners, provides for a private sale when the Board finds: (1) the parcel of real property is of insufficient size and shape to be issued a building permit for any type of development to be constructed on the property; or (2) the value of the parcel of real property is $15,000 or less, as determined by a fee appraiser designated by the board or as determined by the county property appraiser; and (3) the size, shape, location and value of the parcel would make it of use only to one or more adjacent property owners. .
Notices were sent by certified mail with return receipt to adjacent property owners of the County’s intent to sell and one property owner responded and provided a high bid of $800.00. The Board may accept the bid or reject the offer.
It is recommended that the Board approve the sale of surplus parcel ID 24-35-01-25-8-9 / Tax ID 2400616 to Jerry and Malinda Gray in the amount of $800.00 and execute all documents.
