Bill Overview
Analyzed Economic Effects
4 provisions identified: 3 benefits, 0 costs, 1 mixed.
Higher parcel limits for land splits
The law sets how many parcels you may create from a parent parcel. For the first year after this law took effect, you may create up to 4 parcels from the first 10 acres. After one year, you may create up to 10 parcels from the first 10 acres. You also get 1 extra parcel for each whole 10 acres beyond the first 10, up to 11 extra from that step, and 1 extra for each whole 40 acres beyond the first 120. If the parent parcel is at least 20 acres, you may add 2 more parcels if new roads avoid new driveway access to a public road, or if one new parcel is at least 60% of the parent’s area. An accessible parcel of 40 acres or more does not count toward the limit and is not subject to section 109. The limit counts this split together with any earlier splits of the same parent parcel.
Local rules can allow more splits
Starting on this law’s effective date, your city or county may let you split into more parcels than the state default. You must follow the local ordinance’s standards, and the local body must have approval power under section 109(1).
Splitting exempt parcels after 10 years
If your parcel came from an exempt split or earlier division, you may split it again only under set rules. After at least 10 years from the recording date, you may split without platting if you meet limits and section 109. Limit A: 2 parcels for the first 10 acres, plus 1 more for each whole 10 acres after that. Limit B: up to 7 parcels, or 10 parcels if one new parcel is at least 60% of the area. You must use the lesser of these two limits. Otherwise, a parcel created under an exempt split or a local ordinance cannot be split again without going through platting, unless it follows those same rules.
Land splits skip platting process
When you divide a parcel, the split is not subject to the state’s platting process. This reduces paperwork and steps for owners who divide land.
