Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Question:
How do I go about having a piece of land split into two?
I would like to build two homes on the land but I need to have two addresses.

Answer:
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.

You may request an appointment for a One Stop meeting where more detailed information is given for your specific property. The meeting is about 1 hour long and held every Tuesday at DRP. It is very informative. Please contact the Regional Planning Department at 213-974-6438 for an appointment and other available alternatives.
