What is the difference between Lot Line Adjustment and Lot Line Consolidation?
A lot line adjustment is the process that is used to alter property lines of existing parcels. The process can be used to do a number of things, such as: alter the boundary between two (2) parcels or reconfigure the shapes of parcels. In every instance, the lot line adjustment process will yield the same number of parcels. The lot line adjustment process is not used to create additional parcels.
A lot consolidation is a process that is used to erase property lines shared by two or more lots or parcels. It results in a new legal description for the combined property that is recorded.
