California not only maintains the most complex and far-reaching land regulations in the nation: it is also the only one of 50 states that has state-mandated land use regulations and procedures, which are in addition to local county, city and other regulatory ordinances.
There is widespread confusion regarding what constitutes a legal parcel. While California’s Subdivision Map Act provides a legal framework, it’s not so simple to navigate the SMA’s complexities. This presentation will inform attendees’ understanding of significant considerations pertaining to legal parcels, which are a critically important element in real property appraisals and Market Value.
- California’s Subdivision Map Act
- Certificates of Compliance
- Legal non-conforming parcels and merger provisions
- What is PLSS? Lot & Block? Metes & Bounds?

- Difference between Assessor’s Parcels and Legal Parcels
- Types of legal descriptions & how to read them
- Useful computer programs
The same program will simultaneously be available in a WEBINAR format via ZOOM.
