14-7-9: Parcels And Lots Considered Combined
A. When parcels or lots are combined following the procedures in this chapter, they are considered a single parcel or lot for purposes of applying the land use ordinance.
B. Once combined under this chapter, the prior parcels or lot may not be sold or conveyed separately without approval of a subdivision or other procedure authorized under this code.
C. This chapter does not limit the ability of property owners to combine the legal descriptions of separate parcels or lots for taxing or sale purposes without following the requirements of this chapter. However, parcels or lots combined only for taxing or sale purposes remain separate parcels or lots for purposes applying the land use ordinance until or unless they are combined following the provisions of this chapter.
D. A lot combination approved under this chapter serves to amend a subdivision without requiring a subdivision plat amendment under Utah Code 10-9a-6014. As an alternative to this chapter, a property owner may apply to combine lots through a subdivision plat amendment or plat vacation under Chapter 9.
