3. EVIDENCE OF TITLE: COUNTY will obtain at COUNTY'S expense an American Land

Lee Board of County Commissioners · 2026-04-21 · agenda_item

This item concerns the County's plan to obtain title evidence for a property purchase. The County will pay for an American Land Title Association Form B Title Commitment and Owner's Policy of title insurance. This process will identify any exceptions to the title, such as taxes, zoning, deed restrictions, and easements. The County will review these to ensure the title is marketable and has legal access. This is an early stage in the process, as the County is still gathering information before finalizing the purchase. The work involves title search, examination, and insurance services. Local title companies and legal professionals specializing in real estate transactions can engage now to understand the County's needs and potentially compete for this work as the purchase progresses.
