Mosquito Control District · 2026-05-19 · agenda_item

The Mosquito Control District in St. Lucie County is planning to bid on properties at a tax deed auction on May 4, 2026. The County staff has recommended that the Board authorize the Property Acquisition Manager to attend the auction and bid on behalf of the County. If successful, the County Finance Director would be authorized to make a 5% pre-auction deposit on April 22, 2026, and the final payment by May 5, 2026. This process could lead to the acquisition of new properties for the County. The specific properties are located on South Hutchinson Island. This item is currently under review and has been adopted by consent vote, indicating an early stage in the potential acquisition process. While no specific construction is detailed, future plans for these properties could involve site preparation, development, or other related services. Local contractors, suppliers, and service providers are encouraged to monitor this situation as it progresses, as future opportunities may arise depending on the County's plans for any acquired land. Reaching out early could provide an advantage as plans develop.
