Alpine County
Tentative parcel maps: Alpine County Code Title 17 (Subdivisions), Chapter 17.09 "Parcel Maps" — see §17.09.010 (Form of tentative parcel map), §17.09.020 (Submission and filing of tentative parcel map), §17.09.030 (Transmittal and review), §17.09.040 (Action on tentative parcel map — director reviews 2-parcel splits, planning commission reviews 3-4 lot parcel maps), §17.09.110-140 (final map filing, dedications, recording).
Submittal checklist →No standalone tentative-parcel-map submittal checklist PDF was found. The Planning Division page (alpinecountyca.gov/161/Planning-Division) links the Title 17 subdivision code and the online Planning and Development application portal (iWorq) where map submittal requirements are administered; §17.09.010 states map form 'shall be as required by the administrative requirements for map submittals,' implying a staff-held checklist not published as a standalone document. Confirmed live via direct curl fetch of the codepublishing.com chapter page (2026-07).
From the county's official 'Alpine County Planning Permit Fees' schedule (Application Fee Schedule PDF, DocumentCenter doc 7419), fetched and text-extracted via curl+pdftotext. Table also lists Tentative Subdivision Map fees (<10 lots: $5,300 + Health Dept $600; 10-30 lots: $7,350 + $600; 30+ lots: $9,400 + $600), Final Parcel Map ($2,000), and Record of Survey ($250). Single-sourced — this PDF is the only fee-schedule document found; no separate board-resolution PDF corroborating the same figures was located, so treat as single-sourced pending a second corroborating source.
From the official 'Alpine County Assessor/Recorder's Fee Schedule — Effective January 1, 2026' (DocumentCenter doc 1924), fetched via curl+pdftotext (WebFetch could not render the compressed PDF text). The schedule cites Gov. Code §27372 for the map-specific fee row ('Maps (18"x26") First page ... $7.00, Each additional page ... $2.00'), separate from the standard document recording fee (§§27361/27397/27361.4/27361.5, $12 first page/$3 additional). Note the SB2 Atkins Act $75 fee (GC §27388.1) applies to real estate instruments but real property subdivision/parcel/final maps are statutorily exempt from SB2 under GC §27388.1(a)(2)(F) — not independently re-verified here, flagged for review. Single-sourced (one official PDF); no second corroborating document found.
Markleeville

All subdivision review, recording, and surveying functions shown above (county-level) apply directly to Markleeville and every other community in the county.
