Form L4260a - Notice To Assessor Of Transfer Of The Right To Make A Division Of Land - 1998 Page 2

INSTRUCTIONS

This form must be filed by an owner of a parent parcel or parent tract of land when the owner creates a parcel from the

parent parcel or parent tract and transfers the right to make a further division(s) to the owner of the created parcel.

Example: The owner of a parent parcel 10 acres in size is selling off a created parcel 2 1/2 acres in size. In this example

the 10 acre parent parcel qualifies under the Land Division Act to make four (4) divisions before platting is required.

Therefore, two (2) more divisions may be made before platting is required.

Parent Parcel

Before Sale

After Sale

7.5 Acres

10 Acres

2.5 Acres

The owner of the parent parcel who sold the 2 1/2 acre parcel can keep the authority to make two (2) additional divisions

or may convey the authority to make one or both of the additional divisions to the owner of the created parcel.

If the owner of the parent parcel conveys the authority to make one or both additional divisions to the owner of the 2 1/2

acre created parcel, this form (L-4260a) must be filed with the local assessor within 45 days of that action.

This form must also be filed when the owner of a parent parcel or parent tract conveys the parent parcel or parent

tract, and also transfers the right to make further divisions to the new owner of the parent parcel or parent tract.

For more information about the Land Division Act, you may contact the Subdivision Control Section of the

Department of Consumer and Industry Services at (517) 334-7750.
