§ 16.13. Sales to Non-Family Members; City's Right of First Refusal.

A space owner may sell or transfer his or her space only to a relative by blood or marriage, provided however, a space owner may sell or transfer his or her space to a person not related by blood or marriage if the owner receives approval of said sale from City Council. In the event a space owner wishes to sell or transfer his or her space to a person other than a relative by blood or marriage in a sale or transfer not approved by City Council, the owner shall first offer in writing the space for sale to the City of Orlando. The City may repurchase the space for the original purchase price or one-half of the current sales price, whichever is greater, less a recording fee if the deed from the City to the owner is not recorded. If the City wishes to purchase the space, the City shall notify the owner thereof within five (5) days of receipt of notice, and the sale shall be closed within five (5) days after receipt by the City of evidence of title to the space satisfactory to the Office of Legal Affairs.
