Hernando County to consider purchase agreement for Brooksville property

Hernando County has put a Brooksville Manor property on the table for a June 23 Board of County Commissioners meeting, giving residents a chance to review a possible purchase agreement before commissioners act. The public notice identifies the site as Lot 34, Block 2, Brooksville Manor, Parcel ID No. R26 122 19 0070 0020 0340, Key No. 11310, but it does not spell out a proposed price, intended use or funding source.

The board is set to meet at 9:00 a.m. or soon thereafter in the County Commission Chambers at the Hernando County Government Center, 20 N. Main St., Room 160, in Brooksville. June 23 is a regularly scheduled Board of County Commissioners meeting date on the county’s approved 2026 calendar, and the board generally meets on the second and fourth Tuesdays of the month at 9 a.m. County materials say agendas are typically posted about a week before meetings.

The notice says the proposed purchase and sale agreement may be inspected at the Hernando County Administrative Office, 15470 Flight Path Drive in Brooksville, Monday through Friday from 8:30 a.m. to 4:30 p.m., except legal holidays. It also says anyone interested has the right to appear and be heard at the public meeting or to send written objections to the commissioners at that same Flight Path Drive address.

For anyone considering an appeal of a board decision, the notice reminds residents that a verbatim record of the proceedings must be made. The filing is also tied to the county’s standard legal-notice process, which Hernando County says exists to provide public awareness of actions that require notice under state and local requirements.

The parcel is listed in the public records as Brooksville Manor, Plat Book 4, Page 16, and the county’s public-records law gives residents a separate path to request related documents. Those records could help answer the key questions the notice leaves open: why the county is moving now, what public benefit officials expect from the transaction, and whether any other options were considered before putting this property before commissioners.
