A new lot is not a legal lot for purposes of ownership (title), sale, lease or development/land use until a final plat is recorded for the subdivision or partition containing the lot is recorded. Requests to validate an existing lot created through means other than a final plat (“lot of record”) shall follow the procedures set forth in ORS 92.010 through 92.190. The final plat filing and recording requirements are as follows.
(A) Filing plat with county. Within 60 days of the city approval of the final plat, the applicant shall submit the final plat to the county for signatures of county officials as required by ORS Chapter 92.
(B) Proof of recording. Upon final recording with the county, the applicant shall submit to the city a Mylar copy and three paper copies of all sheets of the recorded final plat. This shall occur prior to the issuance of building permits for the newly created lots.
(C) Prerequisites to recording the plat.
(1) No plat shall be recorded unless all ad valorem taxes and all special assessments, fees or other charges required by law to be placed on the tax roll have been paid in the manner provided by ORS Chapter 92.
(2) No plat shall be recorded until the County Surveyor approves it in the manner provided by ORS Chapter 92.
