Subdivision Map Act
Lot Created on 1869 Map and Conveyed With Fewer Than Four Other Lots Was Lawfully Subdivided
The First District Court of Appeal held that a single deed conveying four or fewer contiguous lots can qualify for a presumption of legality under section 66412.6(a) of the Subdivision Map Act so long as the lots are separately described (including by reference to an antiquated subdivision map) and all other requirements of section 66412.6(a) are satisfied.
