Port Richey council vacates portion of Bridge Street right-of-way; member asks staff to notify Pasco County tax offices
Summary
Council adopted the second reading of Ordinance 25‑7‑33 to vacate a portion of the city's Bridge Street right-of-way. A council member asked staff to provide a certified copy of the ordinance to the Pasco County Tax Collector and Property Appraiser so the property can be placed on the county tax roll.
The City Council held the second reading and adopted Ordinance 25‑7‑33 to vacate a portion of the city’s right-of-way on Bridge Street.
There were no public comments during the hearing. After the motion carried, a council member raised a follow-up administrative action: because vacation removes city-owned exempt land from the tax roll, staff should provide a certified copy of the ordinance to Pasco County so the property appraiser and tax collector can reflect the change. The council member asked staff to seek acknowledgement from the county offices that the property will be picked up on the tax roll.
City Attorney Tom Trask read the ordinance by title as required for the second reading, and the ordinance passed on a unanimous voice vote. Council asked staff to prepare and transmit the certified ordinance copy to the Pasco County Tax Collector and Property Appraiser and to report back on their acknowledgment.
The council did not adopt additional conditions beyond those in the ordinance and did not receive public opposition on the record.
