Boundary Line Adjustment General Information
A Boundary Line Adjustment is the realignment of property lines between adjacent parcels.
Additional legal lots may not be created.
Requirements: All amended lots shall meet the minimum lot sizes and otherwise satisfy the
review criteria outlined in ACC 17.16. The current standards apply even if the original lot(s) did
not conform. NO amended lot may create a non-conformity or increase the level of non-
conformity with any current regulation.
Procedure: The process for a boundary line adjustment consists of approval and recording.
Within 28 days of receiving your application, city staff will conduct its initial review and
determine if the application is complete based on the attached submittal requirements. If the
application is not complete or corrections are needed, a letter is mailed detailing the necessary
information to complete the application or corrections that need to be made.
The Planning Director will make the decision to deny or approve the application based on the
comments provided by the City Engineer. The Planning Director's decision may be appealed to
the Hearing Examiner.
Once an application is ready for approval, staff will contact you to submit mylar original drawings
for signatures. The city will record the mylar and any associated documents with the respective
county (King or Pierce). Required recording fees are the responsibility of the applicant.
If you have any questions please contact the Planning Department at 253-931-3090.
