- Authorize the Chair to execute all attached County Deeds as required.

Summary Explanation and Background:
The Clerk has conveyed property to the Board of County Commissioners via tax certificate escheatment deed pursuant to the tax certificate / tax deed sale procedures set forth in Florida Statute Chapter 197. When property located within municipal boundaries escheats to the County for nonpayment of taxes, the County is mandated to convey the property to the municipality unless the Board sells it back to the prior owner or has a designated use for the property.
Four such properties (as listed below) have been identified for mandatory conveyance to the applicable municipality. Staff has reviewed each property and determined there is no designated county use for any parcels. There are no petitions from prior record owners to repurchase the properties pursuant to Florida Statute Section 197.592(1) and (2).
The Four Properties to be conveyed are as follows:
- Parcel 22-35-09-26-D-1; No assigned address; District 1
- Parcel 22-35-09-26-D-2; No assigned address; District 1
- Parcel 22-35-09-26-D-3; No assigned address; District 1
- Parcel 28-37-05-77-1-18; No assigned address; District 5
