Yolo County
Tentative parcel maps: Yolo County Code, Title 8 (Land Development), Chapter 1 (Subdivision and Related Regulations), Article 3 (Subdivision Map Requirements) — see Sec. 8-1.308 'Form of tentative maps and tentative parcel maps' (https://codelibrary.amlegal.com/codes/yolocounty/latest/yolo/0-0-0-27259) and Sec. 8-1.307 'Phased subdivision maps' (https://codelibrary.amlegal.com/codes/yolocounty/latest/yolo/0-0-0-27254). Definitions distinguishing a Tentative Parcel Map (division into four or fewer parcels) from a Tentative Subdivision Map (five or more) are in Sec. 8-1.201 (Article 1, Definitions): https://codelibrary.amlegal.com/codes/yolocounty/latest/yolo/0-0-0-27140. Final parcel map recordation requirements are in Article 5 (Final Subdivision Maps and Parcel Maps): https://codelibrary.amlegal.com/codes/yolocounty/latest/yolo/0-0-0-27362.
Live on American Legal Publishing's Code Library (codelibrary.amlegal.com), which hosts the current Yolo County Code. Could not locate a standalone tentative-parcel-map submittal checklist PDF distinct from the application form; the Planning Division's Application Forms page (https://www.yolocounty.gov/government/general-government-departments/community-services/planning-division/application-forms) lists a 'Tentative Parcel or Sub Map' application, but the site returns 403 to automated fetch tools so the checklist PDF itself could not be directly confirmed/downloaded.
Corroborated by a second page on the same Yolo County ACE (Assessor/Clerk-Recorder/Elections) site, https://ace.yolocounty.gov/351/Recording-Fees, which lists the general base recording fee ($15 first page/$3 additional) and the same SB 2 ($75) and AB 1466 ($2) mandatory fees, and notes map-specific fees are published on the separate Map Filing, Recording & Copy Fees page. Both ace.yolocounty.gov pages were fetchable (not blocked, unlike yolocounty.gov).
City of Davis
Tentative parcel maps: Davis Municipal Code, Chapter 36 (Subdivisions) — Article 36.06 'Subdivisions of Four or Less Parcels' covers Tentative Parcel Maps (https://ecode360.com/44648383); Article 36.04 'Tentative Subdivisions Maps — Five or More Parcels' covers larger subdivisions (https://ecode360.com/44648256); Article 36.01 contains definitions and responsibilities (https://ecode360.com/44648177).
Submittal checklist →The Planning Forms and Handouts page lists a 'Tentative Map Application.' Both ecode360.com and cityofdavis.org returned HTTP 403 to automated fetch/curl (bot-blocked), so exact article text and the checklist PDF's exact filename could not be directly read — confirmed only via search-engine snippets, not by directly rendering the page.
