AMENDING DEED RE BUILDING BETTER COMMUNITIES

Board of County Commissioners · 2026-07-21 · resolution

The Board of County Commissioners adopted Resolution R-675-26 (File Number 260583) on July 21, 2026, authorizing amended and restated county deeds to Building Better Communities of South Florida, Inc., permitting conveyance of three previously conveyed county properties to its affiliate Javon Gardens LLC (a joint venture between Building Better Communities and Pyramid Construction), and granting a two-year extension to July 29, 2028, to obtain final certificates of occupancy for multi-family rental units to be rented to very low-, low-, or moderate-income households. The properties were originally conveyed under Resolution R-440-19 (May 7, 2019) for single-family homes under the Infill Housing Program, changed to multi-family rental units under Resolution R-124-24 (February 6, 2024). The extension granted under R-124-24 expires July 29, 2026. The request for extension cited uncontrollable delays including completion of surveys; the transfer request cited inability of Building Better Communities to secure financing on its own. The resolution authorizes the County Mayor or designee to exercise the County's reversionary interest or accept a deed back to the County if deed restrictions are not met, and requires signage on the properties identifying the County's name and the district commissioner's name.
