Mosquito Control District · 2026-06-02 · agenda_item

The Mosquito Control District in St. Lucie County is considering the purchase of property located on South Hutchinson Island. This property is scheduled for a tax deed auction on June 22, 2026. The County staff recommends that the Board authorize the Property Acquisition Manager to attend the auction and bid on behalf of the County. If the auction is successful, the County Finance Director would be authorized to wire the final payment on June 23, 2026. This item is currently under review and planned for action at the June 2, 2026 meeting. Should the purchase proceed, it could involve site preparation, potential demolition or clearing if an existing structure is present, and any necessary environmental assessments or remediation. Contractors specializing in property acquisition support, auction attendance, and potential site work could find opportunities. Engaging early before final plans are set allows businesses to understand the project scope and prepare for potential bids.
