Municipal code citations, submittal checklists, and fees for the county and its largest city.
Amador County
Tentative parcel maps: Amador County Code Title 17 (Subdivisions), Chapter 17.88 "Land Divisions" — § 17.88.100 requires a parcel map (preceded by a tentative map/application) for all subdivisions of land not otherwise requiring a full tentative/final subdivision map under Chapter 17.56; the balance of Chapter 17.88 (application contents, Technical Advisory Committee review, Planning Commission hearing and approval findings, appeals) governs the Tentative Parcel Map process. Chapter 17.64 ("Tentative Maps") covers the parallel process for 5+ parcel subdivisions.
Submittal checklist →County's original code host (codepublishing.com) now redirects to eCode360 (https://ecode360.com/AM4323 is the current table of contents); the codepublishing.com pages return a redirect notice only. Direct curl/WebFetch to ecode360.com and amadorcounty.gov both return HTTP 403 to automated clients (bot-blocked, not broken — content was retrieved successfully via a text-extraction proxy). The checklist URL is a combined 'Land Division Packet FY 26-27' PDF from Amador County Planning titled 'APPLICATION FORM AND CHECKLIST FOR TENTATIVE PARCEL MAP AND SUBDIVISION MAP,' which also contains the fee schedule below. Single corroboration only for the exact section-100 citation (WebSearch snippet of the codepublishing mirror + eCode360 chapter text); the chapter-level ordinance URL is directly verified.
Double-sourced: figures match exactly between the Planning Department's public fee page (amadorcounty.gov/departments/planning/fees-and-applications) and the official 'Land Division Requirements' packet PDF (https://www.amadorcounty.gov/home/showpublisheddocument/58294/639184331192599472, revised July 1, 2025). Fee applies identically to both Tentative Parcel Maps and Tentative Subdivision Maps ('Tentative Map Application (Parcel or Subdivision)'). Additional Environmental Health, Public Works, and Fire District fees apply separately and were not itemized on these two sources.
Double-sourced: the County Recorder's official 'County Recorder's Fee Schedule' PDF (effective January 1, 2026) and the County Surveyor's published fee schedule page (amadorcounty.gov/departments/surveyor/fee-schedule) both list first-page/additional-page map filing fees at $10/$5 (the Surveyor page is dated 'effective January 1, 2017' text but the figures match the current 2026 Recorder schedule). A separate $75.00 Government Code §27388.1 (Building Homes and Jobs Act) filing fee may apply to certain real estate instruments; the Recorder's schedule does not explicitly state whether it applies to map filings, so it is not included in the amount above.
City of Ione
Tentative parcel maps: Ione Municipal Code Title 16 (Land Divisions), Article II (Land Division Procedures), Chapter 16.30 "Parcel Maps" — § 16.30.020 requires a tentative map (filed per Chapter 16.26, Tentative Maps) before land may be divided by parcel map; § 16.20.030 (Chapter 16.20, "Division of Land—Maps Generally") separately establishes that a tentative map and parcel map are required for all divisions of land into four or fewer parcels.
Submittal checklist →library.municode.com is a JavaScript single-page app; the node-ID URL above resolves correctly in a browser but returns only a loading shell to non-JS fetchers (verified via rendered-text proxy, which confirmed full section text including § 16.30.020 and § 16.20.030). Checklist is the City's 'Planning Application Submittal Requirements' PDF, which covers Parcel/Subdivision Map applications alongside other entitlement types (not a TPM-only checklist).
Confirmed on the City of Ione Planning Permit Application (which includes a 'Tentative Map-Parcel Map (1-4 lots)' checkbox): 'Funds provided with application are a deposit; actual costs will be invoiced to the applicant on a time and materials basis.' No published flat fee schedule was found for Ione Planning applications; single-sourced to this application form only (no separate corroborating fee resolution located).
Ione has no city Recorder; all parcel/final maps are recorded with the Amador County Clerk-Recorder in Jackson, per the same fee schedule cited at the county level above.
