Parcel Maps
A Parcel Map is the process through which property is created and transferred and is also the legal method of obtaining approvals for the right to develop property for a particular use. A Parcel map is the division of property into four (4) or fewer parcels. This is the one of the differences between a Parcel Map and a Subdivision Map. Parcel Maps are subject to the Subdivision Map Act and local City and/or County ordinances. There are 2 processes involved with Parcel Maps. The first process is the Tentative Parcel Map. During this process the public agency will complete an environmental review on the project and compile Conditions of Approval on the project. The second process is the Final Parcel Map. This process starts after the public agency has approved the Tentative Parcel Map. During this process all the Conditions of Approval are satisfied, the final boundary and internal property lines are determined, mapped and monumented, and the Parcel Map is recorded at the County Recorder’s Office.
Northstar Engineering has processed a multitude of Parcel Maps through a wide variety of Public Agencies within Butte County, Glenn County, Plumas County, Shasta County, Yuba County, Sutter County, and Tehama County. The entitlement process can be a long and confusing process, particularly with the different public agency requirements. Northstar Engineering will aid the client through the process and work with the client and the Public Agency to make sure the process moves forward in a timely and efficient manner.
