Background:

On May 14, 2018 the Board granted staff permission to move forward with exploring conveyance of Parcel 08-3N-24-2380-0215-0120 to Mr. Richard Davis.  The property, which was acquired by the Nassau County Board of County Commissioners on March 28, 2000 via Tax Deed, is located on 14th Avenue, Block 215 Lot 12, in the Town of Hilliard.  The parcel measures 25' x 125' or approximately 0.07 acres and has an assessed value of $625. 

According to Florida Statute 125, Section 35, the County is authorized to sell real property when the Board "finds that a parcel of real property is of insufficient size and shape to be issued a building permit for any type of development to be constructed on the property or when the board of county commissioners finds that the value of a parcel of real property is $15,000 or less, as determined by a fee appraiser designated by the board or as determined by the county property appraiser, and when, due to the size, shape, location, and value of the parcel, it is determined by the board that the parcel is of use only to one or more adjacent property owners, the board may effect a private sale of the parcel. The board may, after sending notice of its intended action to owners of adjacent property by certified mail, effect a sale and conveyance of the parcel at private sale without receiving bids or publishing notice; however, if, within 10 working days after receiving such mailed notice, two or more owners of adjacent property notify the board of their desire to purchase the parcel, the board shall accept sealed bids for the parcel from such property owners and may convey such parcel to the highest bidder or may reject all offers."

Request:
Approve and authorize staff to effect a private sale and conveyance of Parcel 08-3N-24-2380-0215-0120 at assessed value to the only adjacent property owner, Mr. Richard Davis.
