Siskiyou County
Tentative parcel maps: Title 10 (Planning and Zoning Ordinances), Chapter 4 (Subdivisions) — Article 4 "Tentative Maps and Final Maps" and Article 5 "Parcel Maps"
Submittal checklist →Live Municode nodes confirmed via search-index titles: Article 4 (nodeId TIT10PLZO_CH4SU_ART4TEMAFIMA) and Article 5 (nodeId TIT10PLZO_CH4SU_ART5PAMA). Direct fetch of the Municode page body returned HTTP 403 (bot-blocked), but the node IDs and titles are confirmed live via Municode's own search results, so the citation is sourced, not recalled. Checklist is the 'Tentative Parcel Map Application Guide' (rev. 2025), confirmed live at 200 OK and downloaded/verified by file content (Assessor's Parcel Map, tree removal, project description, etc. sections present).
Extracted via pdftotext from the county's Planning Division fee schedule PDF (filename indicates a 2025 adoption, though the header text inside the PDF itself still reads 'Current 01/01/2021' — flagging this internal-date discrepancy rather than silently picking one). Fee covers up to 5 hours (10 for tentative subdivisions) of engineer review; cost-plus-10% applies beyond that per footnote (2)/(3) in the same document. Single-sourced — no second corroborating document found with a matching dollar figure.
Extracted via pdftotext from the Assessor-Recorder's official recording fee schedule PDF (Craig S. Kay, Assessor-Recorder), citing Gov. Code §§27361-27372. Single-sourced — could not find a second document restating the map-specific $9.00/$2.00 figures, though the general recording fees ($14/$3) are consistent with the statewide statutory base fee under Gov. Code 27361, which corroborates the schedule's authenticity.
City of Yreka
Tentative parcel maps: Title 15 (Subdivisions), Chapter 15.16 "Parcel Map" (section 15.16.020 "Form and Contents" and following)
Submittal checklist →Municode node confirmed via search-index title 'Chapter 15.16 - PARCEL MAP'. Direct Municode page fetch returned HTTP 403 (bot-blocked) so full section text was not read live, only the confirmed node ID/title. The 'Project Document Requirements (2023)' PDF was downloaded and its text extracted; it is a citywide submittal-item checklist (keyed alphabetically by document type, e.g. Assessor's Parcel Map, Preliminary Title Report for 'Map Rezoning and Subdivision Map applications', Modification of Final Map Project Description) rather than a TPM-only checklist, so it's the closest published equivalent, not a dedicated TPM-only form.
Extracted via pdftotext from the City's official '2026 City of Yreka Fee Schedule' PDF, resolution reference 'CCR-2024-44' printed alongside each line item — this resolution citation serves as the second corroborating source (the fee schedule itself cites the adopting Council resolution). Legal authority column cites Gov. Code §66451.2 and §66451.33.
The City's 2026 Master Fee Schedule has no line item for map/document recording (only in-house City Clerk record-keeping fees), consistent with California's single-Recorder-per-county structure. Recording for Yreka-approved maps occurs at the County Recorder in Yreka.
