How to apply to have your parcel certified

If you need to make sure your lot is in compliance and legal to build on according to the Land Development Code (LDC), or if you want to split your lot into one additional lot, you will need to apply to have your parcel certified.

Fees

Things to consider

If you need more than one lot split, you’ll need to go through the formal subdivision review process.

In order for us to certify your parcel, it must meet the following requirements:

  • Size is consistent with the Comprehensive Plan and zoning requirements
  • Sized to meet one of the utility options below:
    • Provide water and sewer connection
    • One-half acre for septic tanks
    • One full acre for septic tanks within the well field protection area
  • Provide us with legal access
