Involuntarily Merged Lot Notice
If you own real estate lots that were involuntarily merged by municipal action you may be able to have those lots restored to their pre-merger status.
Your property may qualify if two or more lots were merged for zoning, assessing or taxation purposes and the merger occurred:
- During your ownership, without your consent; or
- Prior to your ownership, if no previous owner consented to the merger
To restore your property to pre-merger status, you must:
- Make a request to the local governing body
- No later than December 31, 2021
Once restored:
- Your properties will once again become separate lots; however, they must still conform to applicable land use ordinances. Restoration does not cure non-conformity.
This notice must be:
- Posted continuously in a public place from January 1, 2012 until December 31, 2016, and
- Published in the 2011 through 2015 Annual Reports
