Trinity County

Subdivision Ordinance

Tentative parcel maps: Trinity County Code, Title 16 (Subdivisions), Chapter 16.12 (Tentative Map) and Chapter 16.16 (Parcel Map) — minor land divisions (parcel maps) process a tentative map under Ch. 16.12 procedures and are finalized under Ch. 16.16; recording/corrections covered separately in Ch. 16.29 (Recording and Corrections of Maps).

Municode's live viewer (library.municode.com) blocks automated fetches (HTTP 403), so chapter/section numbers were confirmed via search-result page titles directly reflecting Municode's node IDs (e.g. 'Chapter 16.12 - TENTATIVE MAP', 'Chapter 16.16 - PARCEL MAP', 'Chapter 16.29 - RECORDING AND CORRECTIONS OF MAPS'), not by reading full section text. The checklist URL is the Planning Division's 'Tentative Parcel Map (Subdividing Land)' application PDF, which is a combined application-and-requirements form rather than a separate standalone checklist document — Trinity Planning does not appear to publish a separate checklist PDF.

Tentative map review fee: $380 tentative parcel map review (includes 1 field review); $520 + $20/lot parcel map check at final map stage; $120 + $10/lot for an amended parcel map source · verified 2026-07

Single-sourced to the county's official Surveyor fee schedule PDF (title block: 'SURVEYOR'). This review function is billed under the fee schedule as 'Surveyor' fees rather than a separate Planning Division tentative-map fee; Trinity does not have a standalone Planning fee line-item for tentative parcel maps in the sources found (Planning's Title 2.64.050 fee table in the municipal code could not be read directly — Municode blocked automated access — and Planning's own generic fee-schedule PDF/DOCX at trinitycounty.org/280 resolved to the Recorder's fee schedule content, not a distinct planning fee table). Could not find a second independent source restating this exact dollar figure; treat as single-sourced.

Recording fee: $13.00 first page (any title) + $3.00 each additional page, plus SB 2 Building Homes & Jobs Act fee of $75.00 per title (max $225/transaction); certified copies of Survey & Parcel Maps run $2.50/page source · verified 2026-07

This is the Recorder's general 'Fee Schedule Effective January 1, 2026' PDF; it does not list a map-filing fee distinct from the standard per-page document recording fee, so parcel/final maps appear to be recorded under this general schedule. Single-sourced — a second corroborating page (e.g. a Board of Supervisors resolution) was not located in this session.
