San Francisco County
Tentative parcel maps: Article 3, Sec. 1322 (Tentative Map) and Sec. 1323 (Tentative Map Documents), San Francisco Subdivision Code
Submittal checklist →San Francisco is a consolidated city-county; the Subdivision Code is administered by SF Public Works (not a separate Planning/DPW split as in other counties). Ordinance adopted under authority of the CA Subdivision Map Act (Gov. Code § 66410 et seq.), per Sec. 1301 (Authority and Mandate). Checklist confirmed via WebFetch as a tentative/parcel map submittal checklist; a companion Final Map Review Checklist also exists at the same directory. Corroborated by two independent web searches returning the same amlegal.com section numbers (Sec. 1301, 1302, 1322, 1323).
Source is SF Public Works' official 'Subdivision and Mapping Fee Schedule, Effective: July 1, 2026' PDF, fetched and parsed directly (curl + pdftotext) — single source, but it is the primary/authoritative fee schedule itself, linked from the Bureau of Street-Use and Mapping's own city surveyor page. Fee varies significantly by project type/lot count; figures above are the minimum/base fees for the two most common map types. A $250 additional processing fee applies for incomplete submittals.
Single-sourced: sfassessor.org/recorder-information/recording-document/recording-fees redirects to this same sf.gov page, so it is not truly an independent second source, just the same content under a different host. Could not confirm a map-specific per-sheet fee distinct from the general document recording fee (Gov. Code § 27372 references a separate map-filing fee structure in some counties, but SF's published schedule does not break one out separately from the general per-page rate). Treat this figure as the best available but not double-verified from a distinct source.
