Subdivision & Tentative Parcel Map Requirements

Municipal code citations, submittal checklists, and fees for the county and its largest city.

Contra Costa County

Subdivision Ordinance

Tentative parcel maps: Ordinance Code Title 9 (Subdivisions), Division 94 (Maps), Chapter 94-2 (Tentative Maps) — e.g. §94-2.802 'Approval of Tentative Maps'; parcel/final map recordation requirements follow in Chapter 94-4 (Final Maps and Parcel Maps)

Submittal checklist →

checklistUrl is the county's 'Parcel Maps and Final Maps' checklist (revised 2023), published via the County Surveyor/Engineering Services FAQ page (contracosta.ca.gov/FAQ.aspx?QID=1186) — this is the map-check checklist used after tentative approval, not a dedicated tentative-map application checklist. A general 'Engineering Services Submittal Check List' (CL-1) also exists at https://www.contracosta.ca.gov/DocumentCenter/View/7960/CL-1-Submittal-Checklist-PDF but is not TPM-specific. Municode individual section pages (e.g. nodeId=...CH94-2TEMA_94-2.802APTEMA) return HTTP 403 to automated fetch, so the section citation above is corroborated via the Title 9 table-of-contents URL and Google-indexed search snippets of the chapter, not a direct render of the section text.

Tentative map review fee: Minor Subdivision (Tentative Parcel Map): $7,500 minimum deposit, time and materials (fee codes S-034/S-034A); plus Parcel Map Check: $3,000 deposit (fee code S-069) source · verified 2026-07

Land Development Fee Schedule adopted by the Board of Supervisors May 24, 2022, effective August 10, 2022 (still the posted current schedule as of verification). Single-sourced to this PDF — no second corroborating document found; the county's Land Development page (contracosta.ca.gov/436/Land-Development) references this same PDF as the authoritative schedule rather than restating amounts.

Recording fee: $9.00 for the 1st page of a subdivision/parcel/survey/assessment map, plus $3.00 for each additional page (Gov. Code §§27372, 27361, 27361.4) source · verified 2026-07

Corroborated by a second source, Deeds.com's Contra Costa County recorder page (https://www.deeds.com/recorder/california/contra-costa/), which independently states the same $9.00 first-page / $3.00 additional-page figures. Note an older PDF fee schedule under the previous recorder (Stephen L. Weir) shows a stale $7.00/$3.00 rate — do not use that superseded figure.

City of Concord

Subdivision Ordinance

Tentative parcel maps: Concord Municipal Code Title 17 (Subdivisions), Chapter 17.10 'Subdivision Maps' — governs tentative maps/tentative parcel maps (locally termed 'minor subdivisions,' up to 4 lots, decided by the Zoning Administrator) and final/parcel maps; tentative map approval expires 24 months absent an extension

Submittal checklist →

codepublishing.com returned HTTP 403 to automated WebFetch, so the section citation is corroborated via search-engine-indexed snippets of Chapter 17.10 rather than a direct page render. A companion 'Parcel Map Review Checklist' (post-tentative, pre-recordation) exists at https://www.cityofconcord.org/DocumentCenter/View/3157/Parcel-Map-Review-Checklist-, and Major/Minor Subdivision application checklists are linked from the Planning Permits page (cityofconcord.org/176/Planning-Permits).

Tentative map review fee: Tentative Subdivision/Parcel/Tract Map Review: actual staff hours, capped at a $15,000 deposit; Parcel Map (minor subdivision) review: actual hours, $5,000 deposit; plus a $236 flat Parcel Map processing fee source · verified 2026-07

This is the City's current Fees and Charges Schedule, Exhibit A to Resolution 78-6042, last adopted 4-28-2026 (Res. No. 26-6042.1), fee items 26.1.5 and 26.2.1-26.2.2. Single-sourced to this PDF — the city's Fee Schedules index page (cityofconcord.org/224/Fee-Schedules) links to it as the current schedule but does not restate the dollar figures itself, so no independent second source was found.

Recording fee: Concord does not maintain its own recording office; final/parcel maps are recorded with the Contra Costa County Recorder at $9.00 for the 1st page plus $3.00 per additional page (same fee as the county entry above). Concord charges a separate city-side Parcel/Final Map Filing fee (item 26.2.4/26.3.5) collected before the map goes to the County Recorder, plus a Mylar Maps and Plans security deposit of $200/page ($500 minimum for a parcel map, $1,000 minimum for a final map). source · verified 2026-07

The county-recorder portion of this figure is corroborated by the two sources cited in the county recordingFee entry above (contracostavote.gov and deeds.com).
