§ 30-409. Sale of lands.

Lands to which said district or its board of supervisors shall acquire title under the provisions of this article or under the provisions of any other law may be sold in the manner following:

(1)

Any lands to which the district or board has acquired title, or may hereafter acquire title, may be sold by the board at any time for the best price obtainable therefor.

(2)

All sales of land shall be for cash or upon terms and security to be approved by the board, but deed shall not be executed until full payment shall have been made.

(3)

Before selling any land it shall be the duty of the board to cause a notice of intention to sell to be published in a newspaper published in Broward County, Florida, once each week for three (3) successive weeks (three (3) insertions being sufficient) the first publication of which shall be not less than thirty (30) nor more than forty-five (45) days prior to any sale, which said notice shall set forth the time and place of the sale and a description of the lands to be offered for sale, and it shall be the further duty of the board to send by registered mail at least fifteen (15) days before the date of sale a copy of such proposed notice to the last-known address of the person, firm or corporation to whom the lands described in said notice were last assessed, if known. However, the failure of the person, firm or corporation to whom said land was last assessed to receive such notice shall not invalidate the sale or affect the rights of the purchaser thereunder, nor shall the failure of the board to give such notice by mail invalidate the sale or affect the rights of the purchaser thereunder, it being the intention that this provision for mailing of said notice shall be directory only.
