Checklist of Up-to-Date Pages
(This checklist will be updated with the
printing of each Supplement)
From our experience in publishing Looseleaf Supplements on a page-for-page
substitution basis, it has become evident that through usage and
supplementation many pages can be inserted and removed in error.
The following listing is included in this Code as a ready guide for the user
to determine whether the Code volume properly reflects the latest printing of
each page.
In the first column all page numbers are listed in sequence. The second
column reflects the latest printing of the pages as they should appear in an
up-to-date volume. The letters "OC" indicate the pages have not been reprinted
in the Supplement Service and appear as published for the original Code.
When a page has been reprinted or printed in the Supplement Service, this
column reflects the identification number or Supplement Number printed on
the bottom of the page.
In addition to assisting e~usting holders of the Code, this list may be used
in compiling an up-to-date copy from the original Code and subsequent
Supplements.

PUBLIC PROPERTY
Art. I. Disposition of Surplus R.eal Property, §§ 1-16.2-1-1-162-6
AR,TICLE I. DISPOSITION OF SUR,PLUS REAL PROPERTY
Sec. 1-16.2-1. Purpose.
This article is created for the purpose of establishing a method of disposition of surplus
County real property in accordance with section 125.35(3), Florida Statutes.
(Ord. No. 02-18, Pt. B, 6-18-02)
Sec. 1-16.2-2. Declaration of surplus property.
(a) When the board of county commissioners finds that any real property owned by the
county is unusable or not needed for county purposes, the board may declare the real property
to be surplus property. Once the property is declared surplus, the property may be sold,
dedicated, donated or otherwise conveyed to interested parties pursuant to the terms of this
article. The declaration of surplus property shall be recorded in the minutes of the board.
(b) Once the real property is declared surplus by the board of county commissioners, the
county administrator or designee shall have the authority to sell the property to the highest
and best bidder. A deed transferring the property to the highest and best bidder shall be
presented to the chairman of the board of county commissioners for signature without any
further approval of the board being required. The county administrator or designee shall have
the authority to reject all bids if the bids are determined to be too low or not in the best interest
of the county. In the event the county administrator or designee desires to transfer the
property to a person other than the highest and best bidder, the matter shall be presented to
the board for approval.
(Ord. ~~o. 02-18, Pt. B, 6-18-02)
Sec. 1-162-3. Process by which interested persons may acquire surplus property.
(a) Any person, corporation, governmental body, or other legal entity may request to
acquire surplus real property by submitting a letter of interest to the county administrator or
designee. The letter shall include the following information:
(1) Name of the person or legal entity interested in the property;
(2) The reason for acquiring the property, i.e., personal, charitable, governmental, etc.;
(3) The proposed purchase price;
(4) The legal description, the alternate key number and, if available, the street address of
the property; and
(5) Any other information the person deems relevant.
Supp. No. 61 855
§ 1-162-3 ST. LUCIE COUNTY CODE
(b) Upon receipt of the letter of interest, the county administrator or designee shall verify
whether the property has in fact been declared surplus. If the property has not been declared
surplus, the county administrator or designee shall make a determination as to whether the
property is needed for county purposes. If the property is no longer needed, then the county
administrator or designee shall request the board of county commissioners to declare the
property surplus. Once the property is declared surplus, then the county administrator or
designee shall seek to dispose of the property in accordance with the standards of competition
set forth in this article.
(c) The county may, on its own initiative, dispose of surplus property by following the
standards of competition.
(Ord. No. 02-18, Pt. B, 6-18-02)
Sec. 1-162-4. Standards of competition and notice of disposal
(a) For real property valued more than $25,000.00, as appraised by the property appraiser's
office, the county may sell the property to the highest and best bidder. Notice calling for bids
shall be published in a newspaper of general circulation once each week for two (2) consecutive
weeks. The county shall have the option to convey the property to the highest bidder or reject
all bids. This procedure applies regardless of whether the surplus property is being disposed
of on the county's own initiative or upon receiving a letter of interest.
(b) For real property valued at $50,000.00 or more, as appraised by the property appraiser,
the county shall have the property re-appraised by a fee appraiser designated by a fee
appraiser designated by the county.
(c) Alternatively, for real property appraised under $25,000.00 by the property appraiser's
office, the county may negotiate the private sale of the property to an interested person. The
county shall send notice to all adjacent property owners by certified mail indicating the
county's desire to dispose of the real property. If, within ten (10) business days after receiving
such notice, any adjacent property owners indicate their desire to purchase the property, the
county shall accept sealed bids for the property from the interested parties. The county may
then convey the property to the highest bidder or reject all bids. This procedure applies
regardless of whether the surplus property is being disposed of on the county's own initiative
or upon receiving a letter of interest.
(d) The county, regardless of the appraised value of the property, may convey such property
to another governmental entity or charitable institution at a private sale for such price as the
board of county commissioners may fix. The conveyance shall be done in accordance with
section 125.38, Florida Statutes.
(Ord. No. 02-18, Pt. B, 6-18-02)
Sec. 1-16.2-5. Negotiation procedures.
(a) In negotiating the terms and conditions of the disposal of surplus property, the county
administrator or designee shall take into consideration the following factors:
(1) The appraised value of the real property;
Supp. No. 61 856
PUBLIC PROPERTY § 1-16.2-6
(2) The condition of the real property, and the e~rtent to which the party seeking to acquire
the property will have to expend funds to make the property useable, or, to bring the
property into compliance with the St. Lucie County Code of Ordinances; and
(3) The proposed use of the party seeking to acquire the property.
(b) In no event shall the disposition of surplus property violate the St. Lucie County
Comprehensive Plan or the zoning regulations of St. Lucie County, Florida.
(Ord. No. 02-18, Pt. B, 6-18-02)
Sec. 1-162-6. Notification of disposition to interested parties.
The county administrator or designee shall publish a notice in a newspaper of general
circulation once at least twenty (20) days prior to the board of county commissioners' hearing
in which the real property is to be declared surplus. The notice shall contain a description of
the surplus property sought to be disposed of, the name of the county administrator or
designee to which objections shall be addressed, and the date of the regular meeting of the
board in which proposed final action is to be taken. Objections to the final disposition of
surplus property shall be made in writing no later than ten (10) days prior to the final
disposition and shall be given to the board prior to making its final decision.
