Dividing (Apportioning) & Merging Lots
Builders, Developers, Architects, Engineers,
and Property Owners may request permission from both Finance and the Department of Buildings to split one parcel of land into two or more parcels. This is known as apportionment. You can also join two or more parcels into one large parcel, known as a merger. Many tax and zoning regulations determine if the request will be approved or denied. The Finance Tax Map Office is responsible for processing these requests.
Requirements
-
A request must be submitted to Finance on the appropriate application.
-
The required supporting documentation – such
as land surveys, tax clearance, etc.
- If Finance approves the initial request, it
is submitted to the Dept. of Buildings for approval.
- If the Dept. Of Buildings approves the request, the applicant notifies Finance of their intention to complete the apportionment or merger.
