Legal Lot Status

Legal lots, Illegal Lots, and Merged Lots

Prior to the issuance of a permit or other entitlement, the County must determine the legal lot status of the applicant’s Lot. Legal lot verification is required to enter the permitting process. 

The State Subdivision Map Act and Ventura County Subdivision and Zoning Ordinances prohibit the issuance of any permit or other planning entitlements on lots that are illegally created.

Please be prepared to provide all Assessor’s Parcel Numbers. 

To check legal lot status, staff may provide preliminary legal lot research results, please contact:

 

To check if a Preliminary Legal Lot Determination has been made or a Certificate of Compliance has been recorded on your Lot, please contact:

For a formal determination of legal lot status, an application must be submitted to the Public Works Agency, County Surveyor’s Office, for a Certificate of Compliance (“legal lot certificate”). For application forms and further information, please contact the County Surveyor’s Office.
