Property Line Adjustment Requirements and Application

What is a property line adjustment? 

A property line adjustment involves a fairly minor relocation of the common line between two properties. For example, if an owner wishes to purchase property from an adjoining owner to expand their garage, the legal process used to move this common line is a property line adjustment.

Where can I find property line adjustment requirements? 

Property line adjustment requirements and criteria are found in Chapter 17.100, Land Division. The criteria which all property line adjustments must meet include:

1. No additional parcels are created;
2. All parcels meet the density requirements and dimensional standards of the base zoning district; and
3. Access, utilities, easements, and proposed future streets will not be adversely affected by the property line adjustment.
