Lot Line Adjustment.
When the line between two parcels is in the wrong place for how the land is actually used or developed, a lot line adjustment moves it legally. We handle the survey, the exhibits and the legal descriptions the county requires, so the new line is recorded and defensible.
Who typically needs this
- Neighboring owners trading or selling a strip of land
- Developers reshaping parcels to fit a project
- Families dividing property among members
- Owners fixing a long-standing encroachment permanently
Common situations
- A driveway, garage or yard has always crossed the line and both owners want to make it official
- A project needs a slightly different parcel shape to meet setbacks
- Two parcels under one owner should be reconfigured before a sale

Lot Line Adjustment questions
Does a lot line adjustment create a new parcel?
No. It changes the shape of existing parcels without increasing their number, which is why most jurisdictions process it more simply than a subdivision.
Do both owners have to agree?
Yes. A lot line adjustment between two owners is a voluntary process and both sign the application and the recorded documents.
