Board of County Commissioners Regular Meeting · 2026-04-21 · agenda_item

St. Lucie County staff is recommending the Board of County Commissioners direct the Property Acquisition Manager to attend a public auction on May 4, 2026. The county plans to bid on properties located along Turnpike Feeder Road. These properties are scheduled for a tax deed auction. If the auction is successful, the county will need to make a 5% pre-auction deposit on April 22, 2026, and the final payment on May 5, 2026. This process is currently under review by the Board of County Commissioners. The potential acquisition could lead to future development or infrastructure projects. Local contractors, suppliers, and service providers are encouraged to monitor this item as it progresses. Early engagement before final plans and permits are established could provide a competitive advantage for future work related to these properties.
