3414 West Jackson Street was acquired via governmental foreclosure in August 2013.
2505 West Lakeview Avenue was acquired via governmental foreclosure in March 2014.
2615 North 6th Avenue was acquired via a tax deed in July 2011. On September 15, 2011, the Board approved acquisition of the subject property through tax deed sale in order to utilize the property for affordable housing. A prior owner was under contract with the County to build a single family residence and sell to an income eligible buyer. However, the developer abandoned the project. The parcel requires completion of construction in order to sell the home to an affordable buyer under the State Housing Initiatives Partnership (SHIP) Program and/or Neighborhood Stabilization Program (NSP) guidelines. On June 8, 2012, NEFI circulated the availability of this property to eligible not-for-profit agencies and the only agency to reply was A.M.R. at Pensacola, Inc. (AMR). Due to title issues (5 City Liens), AMR requested that the title be conveyed for the costs of the back taxes and title transfer. However, the developer abandoned the project. The parcel requires completion of construction in order to sell the come to an affordable buyer under the State Housing Initiatives Partnership (SHIP) Program and/or Neighborhood Stabilization Program (NSP) guidelines.
The Board at its April 3, 2014 Board Meeting authorized sale of all three properties to Pensacola Habitat for Humanity, Inc. (Habitat) for a sale price of $20,840.25. Habitat failed to close on the property in the time allotted due to requirements to cure title defects. Habitat has now notified Escambia County that it is no longer interested in purchasing these properties.
Each property will be offered for sale via online public auction or offered as property to be used for affordable housing in conjunction with Escambia County's Surplus Property Disposition for Affordable Housing Development Program.
The County does not have a need for these parcels. |
