This Property is located in Commission District 5. |
| BACKGROUND: |
Meeting in regular session on December 8, 2016, the Board approved staff to pursue the acquisition of properties that are listed within the Hazard Mitigation Grant Program (HMGP) and located along Eleven Mile Creek.
According to the FEMA Hazard Mitigation Grant Program Homeowner Acquisition Fact Sheet, the property owners can appeal the county's appraisal if they believe it is not adequate. The appeal process does include a second appraisal of their home at the property owner's expense. The county will then split the difference of the initial appraisal and second appraisal to determine the fair market value of the property, after which the county may make another offer.
Mr. and Mrs. Shelley are willing to sell their property, located at 10010 Bristol Park Road, in Bristol Park Subdivision, along Eleven Mile Creek. Per county policy, Escambia County staff had two appraisals performed on this property, which valued the property at $320,000 and at $285,000. The property owners have provided their own appraisal, which revealed a value of $338,000.
The Shelleys have appealed, with a request to average the county's highest appraisal of $320,000 and their appraisal of $338,000, for a proposed purchase amount of $329,000.
Funds spent toward this project, and in accordance with the guidelines, are eligible for reimbursement. |
