Summary On November 20, 2006 and April 7, 2014, the City Commission declared a total of twenty-three (23) parcels of City-owned real estate surplus. The City Manager was instructed to dispose of the property in the best interest of the City.
City staff sent notification letters of intent to sell to neighboring property owners and has been contacted by several potential buyers. Two parcels were approved for sale at the last City Commission Meeting on March 27, 2017. Antioch Missionary Baptist Church of Alachua, Inc. has since offered to purchase Parcel # 03549-001-000 for the 2016 Alachua County Property Appraiser assessed value of $1,500.00.

Lot 12 is a current surplus lot and is further identified as Tax Parcel 03949-000-000. Lot 12 is a surplus lot recommended for sale. The Quit Claim Deed to the same buyer (Antioch Missionary Baptist Church of Alachua, Inc.) is presented and recommended to the City Commission to clarify and confirm a prior transfer from the City to the Church by deed dated August 6, 1998 recorded on June 24, 2002 in OR Book 2471 Page 503 of the Public Records of Alachua County, and, to remove a therein included reverter clause.
