• You have to have owned both Parcels 24C and 24B for a minimum of 4 years.
• The parcel being created is for a member of the immediate family only (defined as parent,
grandparent, child, grandchild).
• There is a 2 acre minimum for any parcel created.
• Both the parcel created and the remaining (residue) acreage have to remain in the ownership of a
member of the immediate family for a minimum of 4 years after the plat is approved/recorded.
You can submit one plat that acts as both a Boundary Line Adjustment and a Family Subdivision. The surveyor
would draft the plat addressing all the requirements on both the Boundary Line Adjustment checklist and the
Family Subdivision checklist—and title the plat as a Boundary Line Adjustment and Family Subdivision. You
would fill out applications for both the Boundary Line Adjustment and the Family Subdivision and include
them with 5 copies of the plat and the application review fee—to Community Development. The application
review fee would be the fees on the Family Subdivision application only—not the fees on the BLA application.
That fee is $1,097.00 ($742 + $355). Once received, this also would be an administrative review where the
planner has 60 days legally to review it but does it in 21 days if workload permits.

Brent,
I came in a couple of weeks ago (with my toddler grandson in tow) and spoke with you about dividing a parcel
off our 50 acre property for our daughter and son in law to build a house on. The surveyor has been out and
asked me to confirm a couple of items with you before he proceeds.
We plan to vacate the line between the two adjoining parcels we own so that parcel size is not an issue with
regard to land use eligibility.
You are not "vacating" the line between parcels 25B & 24C, you are combining the parcels into one parcel.
While achieving the same goal, it is not a"vacation" of a property line. To combine the parcels, you will be
submitting a Boundary Line Adjustment(BLA) application to this department for review/approval. The
application along with checklist of requirements for the (BLA)plat can be found HERE . The completed
application along with 5 copies of the plat (prepared by a licensed land surveyor) and the $215 application fee
(made out to Albemarle County) are submitted to Community Development. The plat is assigned to a planner
for an administrative review. The planner has 60 days legally to review it but tries to do it in 21 days if
workload permits. The planner will email you to let you know if the plat can be approved, as is, or if revisions
to the plat are required. A revised plat can be emailed back to the planner. Once the planner has determined the
plat can be approved by this department,they will notify you and have you bring at least 2 copies of the plat
with the owner's notarized signatures on it. The planner will get it signed by the County and provide you with a
signed copy. You are then required to have that signed copy of the plat recorded in the ALBEMARLE
COUNTY CIRCUIT COURT CLERK'S OFFICE . That triggers the County Assessor's Department to revise
the tax maps accordingly showing the new combined parcel. Then and only then it is the new parcel of record.
The two questions are:
Do we need to have an official driveway easement agreement drawn up, given that it's a family division?
I take it that in addition to combining the two parcels you want to create a new parcel by submitting a Family
Subdivision plat. The application along with the checklist of requirements for the Family Subdivision plat can
be found HERE .
To be eligible as a Family Division:
2
%Me' 'Nose
4. Streets serving family subdivisions. Each private sure
family subdivision under section 14-232(13)( 1 ) shall satisfy the following: (i) e
widths shall he ten ( 10) reet minimum: and (ii) the surveyor shall include the

Important— please read:
Below are sections of the Virginia State Code relating to when Family Subdivisions are permitted and the land
is held in a trust. Before you have your plat drafted, I encourage you to provide a copy of your trust to our
ALBEMARLE COUNTY ATTORNEY'S OFFICE to make sure your trust would qualify for a Family
Subdivision. You could Email the Department with a copy of your trust agreement or call them at 434-972-4067.

Do we need to confirm septic site before the subdivision is approved? Im pretty sure it has been done and filed
I with the health department by a previous owner.
