Lot split and lot line adjustment
Not every division is a subdivision. Splitting one lot from a tract, moving a line between two neighbors, or combining parcels into one is usually handled with a simpler plat and a shorter review. We survey, draw the plat, and take it through the planning office and recording.
When you need it
- You want to split one lot off to sell or give to family
- Two neighbors agree to move a shared line
- You own adjoining parcels and want them combined
- A sale needs a new legal description for part of a tract
What you get
- A plat of the new lots or the adjusted line
- New legal descriptions for the deeds
- Corner pins set for the new lines
- Submission to the planning office and recording
What we need from you
- Deeds and parcel numbers for every parcel involved
- A sketch of what you want
- Agreement from the neighbor if a shared line moves
- Any direction the planning office has given
You can also stop by the office in Sevierville with your deed or an old plat and we will look at it with you.
Timing and cost
Simpler than a full subdivision, but still tied to the planning office calendar. We confirm the process that applies to your land before we start.
Every job is quoted after we look at the property and the records. There is no charge for the quote.
Questions about lot split and lot line adjustment
Do I need the county's approval to split one lot?
In most cases yes, even for one lot. The planning office decides whether it is a minor plat or a full subdivision. We check that first.
Can you write the new deed descriptions?
We write the legal descriptions from the survey. Your attorney prepares and records the deeds.
