Recommendation Concerning Reduction of the Minimum Bid Required for Sale of Surplus Real Property Located at 20 West Washington Street - Stephan Hall, Budget Manager, Management and Budget Services

That the Board take the following action concerning reduction of the minimum bid required for sale of surplus real property located at 20 West Washington Street, due to the Property Appraiser's reassessed value:

A. Authorize the sale of surplus real property located at 20 West Washington Street, Account Number: 08-1479-000, Reference Number: 51-2S-30-6000-000-008, to the bidder with the highest offer received at or above the reassessed minimum bid of $5,422, in accordance with Section 46.134, of the Escambia County Code of Ordinances, without further action of the Board; and

B. Authorize the Chairman to sign all documents related to the sale.

BACKGROUND:

This property escheated to the County on June 6, 2014. The Board declared the property surplus and authorized its sale at its Board Meeting on July 10, 2014, with a minimum bid set at the then current value assessed by the Property Appraiser, $17,586. The Property Appraiser has now reassessed and reduced their value to $5,422, because the house requires a substantial amount of repair. The County has no need for this property.

BUDGETARY IMPACT:

Sale of this property will provide revenue for the General Fund.
