§ 1512. Subdivision of land.

(a)

No person shall subdivide land except in accordance with this article and this UDC.

(b)

It shall be unlawful to sell or transfer title to another person any lot or tract or portion thereof of land that has not been established as a lot of record, except in compliance with this article. Unless the lot to be sold or transferred is a lot of record, final plat approval by the county in accordance with this article shall be required. This section shall not be interpreted as limiting the sale or transfer of lots consistent with previously lawfully approved recorded plats or deeds.

(c)

It shall be unlawful for any person, firm, corporation, owner, agent or subdivider, by deed or plat, to sell, transfer, agree to sell, offer at public auction, negotiate to sell or subdivide any land until a preliminary plat, if required, and final plat have been approved by the public development department and final plat recorded in accordance with this article. Said restriction applies to lands subdivided for non-residential as well as residential uses. The description by metes and bounds in the instrument of transfer or other document used in the process of selling or transfer shall not exempt the transaction from compliance with this article or from the penalties established for violations of this UDC.

(d)

The county through its attorney or other designated official may enjoin such transfer of, sale, or agreement by appropriate action.
