Sale of any real property together with the improvements located thereon shall be by quitclaim deed on an “as is,” “where is” basis subject to all outstanding taxes, any special liens or assessments, comprehensive land use plans, zoning, restrictions, prohibitions and other requirements imposed by governmental authority; qualifications and matters appearing on the plat, or otherwise common to the subdivision, restrictive covenants, public utility easements and all outstanding easements, reservations and other interests.
The sale shall be subject to a reservation in favor of the Board of Trustees of the Internal Improvement Trust Fund of the State of Florida (Trustees) of an undivided three-fourths interest in phosphate, minerals and metals and one-half interest in all petroleum with the privilege to mine and develop the same in compliance with Section 270.11, Florida Statutes.
The successful party shall pay for all costs incurred by DEP, including but not limited to those related to zoning changes, advertising and appraisals, and all costs of closing, including but not limited to, title insurance, documentary stamp tax on the quitclaim deed, recording costs and any other closing costs that result from the transaction. The successful party shall pay all costs of sale incurred by the Trustees or other parties on behalf of the Trustees, by separate certified or cashier’s check, made payable to the State of Florida Department of Environmental Protection or an escrow agent designated by the DEP, at the time of closing.
The balance of the purchase price required to be paid by the successful party shall be in the currently available U.S. funds in a manner designated by DEP. The Trustees will not extend credit; therefore, each party is responsible for arranging any necessary financing.
Any response containing or accompanied by counterproposals as to the sale terms or conditions shall be deemed non-responsive and rejected. Each response shall be accompanied by an earnest money deposit in the form of a certified or cashier’s check from a financial institution as defined by Section 655.005, Florida Statutes, made payable to DEP in the amount required by the contract or other terms or conditions established by DEP. The earnest money deposit shall be forfeited to the Trustees if the successful party fails to perform as specified after written notification of award.
