§ 25-70.7. Completion of lot line adjustments.

(a)

Adjustments shall be finalized by complying with all the conditions of approval and recording a deed which conveys the adjusted lands to the new owner within twenty-four (24) months of the final approval date. Time extensions may be granted in the manner set forth in Section 25-23.

(b)

The deed shall reference the lot line adjustment being implemented. The recordation of deeds shall evidence the owner's express and implied intent to extinguish any and all underlying parcels or parcel fragments and to recognize the parcel configuration approved by the decision-making body. A certificate of compliance may be issued on any parcel which has resulted from a duly approved and recorded lot line adjustment.

(c)

An adjustment shall not be recorded until:

(1)

The assessor's office has been notified, by a combining agreement, of the pending changes in parcel configuration;

(2)

The tax collector's office indicates all taxes or assessments due on each parcel are paid or cleared;

(3)

The county surveyor approves all legal descriptions; and

(4)

The planning department ascertains all other conditions of approval are complied with and has stamped the deeds approved.

(d)

Where an adjustment involves a parcel encumbered by a deed of trust or other financing document, such documents shall be modified prior to or concurrently with the recording of the lot line adjustment so as to conform to the newly reconfigured parcel.

(e)

Where an adjustment necessitates a change in zoning district boundaries, such rezoning shall not be finalized until the adjustment is finalized.
