A Lot Merger combines two or more substandard lots into one and is a recorded document. A Lot Merger is completely different than a Lot Combination. A Lot Combination is processed through the Assessor's Office and combines the lots for tax billing convenience purposes only (i.e., one tax bill).

The process to split a piece of land into smaller pieces is known as "subdivision." The subdivision process starts with the Regional Planning Department (DRP) where a tentative map must be filed first. After the tentative map is approved, a final map must be processed and recorded through Public Works.

In order for us to merge property you must meet the following criteria: Property MUST be contiguous to each other. All parcels MUST be in the same name, trust or business. Parcels MUST be in the same taxing district. Person requesting the merge MUST be the current owner of the properties.

A lot consolidation plat is essentially a re-mapping of two or more adjacent lots or parcels of land, combining them into one larger parcel. (This is effectively the reverse of a subdivision plat, in which a larger property is subdivided into multiple lots.)

If a property owner wishes to have parcels combined, then a discussion with the local city or township assessor is certainly in order. A written request by the owner to the local assessor is usually sufficient; however, some units may require an actual form while others may accept a simple letter.
