Summary Explanation and Background:
The Clerk periodically conveys property to the County via tax certificate escheatment deed pursuant to the tax certificate / tax deed sale procedures set forth in Chapter 197, Florida Statutes. 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. Section 197.592(3), Florida Statutes.
One such property has been identified for mandatory conveyance to the applicable municipality. Staff has reviewed the 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 Section 197.592(1) and (2), Florida Statutes.
The property is located at 910 Brothers Ave., Melbourne, FL 32905. The parcel has an assessed value (as assessed by the Brevard County Property Appraiser Parcel Tax ID 2818192 and Parcel ID 28-37-03-77-*-19) of $6,000 and is 0.08 acres in size.
