A Condominium Subdivision is a subdivision that divides a property into “cubicles of air space”.

Specialty 01
Condominium Subdivisions

A condominium plan contains a general description of a condominium project with three-dimensional descriptions and boundaries of units and common areas, including balconies, parking spaces, and storage spaces. Our clients, the attorneys preparing the CC&R’s and the title officers, prize our Condominium Plans.

An ALTA/ACSM Land Title Survey is an extended title insurance coverage survey. It is made for the purpose of providing you, your lender and your title insurance a detailed land parcel map, showing all existing improvements of the property, utilities, and significant observations within the insured estate. The survey also details the licensed surveyor's findings concerning the property boundaries and how they relate to the title.

Parcel & Tract Maps

A Parcel Map or Minor Subdivision map is prepared to facilitate the subdivision of a parcel of land into four or fewer parcels, or four or few condominiums. A Tract Map or Major Subdivision map is prepared to facilitate the subdivision of a parcel of land into five or more lots or condominium units.

It sometimes becomes necessary or desirable to change the configuration of your parcel or parcels of land. Some jurisdictions require a Lot Line Adjustment Map and others require a Parcel Map Waiver Map.
