Overview

• A lot line adjustment accommodates a transfer or combination of land between adjacent separate lots.
• Lot line adjustments do NOT create additional lots or building sites.
• The purpose of a lot line adjustment allows legal transfer of ownership and minor relocation of property boundaries or combining lots for any recorded or unrecorded, subdivided parcel.
