Subdivision & Tentative Parcel Map Requirements
Municipal code citations, submittal checklists, and fees for the county and its largest city.
Lassen County
Tentative parcel maps: Lassen County Code, Title 16 (Subdivisions), Chapter 16.20 (Parcel Map Requirements), Article 1 (Tentative Parcel Maps)
Submittal checklist →Hosted on eCode360 (General Code). Verified via live search-indexed page content, not a direct fetch (Lassen's own lassencounty.org domain is mid-migration to lassencounty.gov and 403/redirects automated fetches — consistent with known gov-site bot-blocking, not necessarily a dead link). Divisions of 4 or fewer parcels use a Parcel Map; 5+ parcels require a Final (Subdivision) Map. Checklist URL is the county's 'Tentative Parcel Map/Subdivision Application' PDF from the Planning and Building Services document library; also bot-blocked for automated fetch but indexed live by search engines as of 2026-07.
Two distinct fees found: the Planning Dept. application/filing fee ($1,600 for a Parcel Map; $1,750 + $56/lot for a Subdivision) and a separate $400 County Surveyor review fee (covers an initial review plus one re-review; additional reviews billed at the surveyor's current hourly rate) charged under Lassen County Code Chapter 3.18 (Fees and Revenues), §3.18.130 (Surveyor Fees). Both figures appear consistently across the county's 'Parcel Map Process' handout and references to the Ch. 3.18 fee table, which counts as corroboration, but neither source could be directly re-fetched live (bot-blocked redirects) — figures are drawn from indexed page content, not a freshly rendered PDF. Recommend a live phone/email check with Planning and Building Services before publishing exact figures.
Directly downloaded and read the official Lassen County Clerk-Recorder fee schedule PDF (effective January 1, 2022) linked from the county's live Fee Schedule page (lassencounty.gov/195/Fee-Schedule) as of 2026-07 — it remains the current posted schedule. Exact schedule text under 'MAP FILING FOR RECORD (Govt. Code 27372)(Govt. Code 27388.1)': 'Subdivision, Parcel, Survey, Assessment — 1st page $8.00 + $75.00 = $86.00; Each additional page $2.00.' This replaces the stale 2019 secondary-source figure ($86 first page/$3 additional): first-page total of $86 was correct, but additional pages for MAPS are $2.00, and the schedule breaks out the $8 base + $75 SB2 composition. Regular (non-map) document recording is $7.00 first page/$3.00 additional plus SB2.
City of Susanville
Tentative parcel maps: Susanville Municipal Code, Title 17 (Zoning), Chapter 17.112 (Applications and Procedures) governs parcel map/subdivision map application processing; the city's Fees for Services schedule separately itemizes 'Tentative Parcel Map' and 'Final Parcel Map' as distinct services.
Submittal checklist →Confirmed live via direct page load that ecode360.com/44219773 is titled 'Chapter 17.112: APPLICATIONS AND PROCEDURES — City of Susanville, CA.' Could NOT confirm a separate dedicated 'tentative parcel map' chapter number beyond 17.112 — search-engine AI summaries repeatedly misattributed chapter numbers from other cities' codes (e.g., a Seal Beach and possibly another jurisdiction's chapter were both mistakenly surfaced as Susanville's), so those citations were discarded rather than reported. Treat the Ch. 17.112 citation as reliable; treat any more specific 'tentative parcel map' sub-chapter number as unconfirmed. The checklist PDF ('Tentative Parcel Map Submittal Requirements') is hosted on the Lassen County APCD's document center, which is a shared regional hosting arrangement small counties use — it is the correct document by content, not a mismatch.
Directly fetched and read the official adopted FY 2025-26 'Fees for Services' worksheet (Exhibit A, adopted by City Council, effective 6/20/2025). Single primary source, but it is the city's own adopted-by-resolution fee document (not a secondary summary), so it stands on its own as authoritative. A prior-year (FY24-25) search snippet cited $1,397.00 for the same fee, confirming the figure is updated annually — current FY25-26 figure of $1,526.00 is the one to use.
The city's own fee schedule lists a 'Final Map Check Fee' ($154.00/hour, City Engineer) and 'Final Parcel Map' processing fee ($762.00) — these are city plan-check/processing charges, not a recording fee. Actual instrument recording happens at the county level.
