Of the maps required by this title, only final and parcel maps may be filed for record with the recorder.

(Ord. 854 § 2 (part), 1987: prior code § 11640)

A. Within fifteen days of approval of a parcel or final map by a city, and if the parcel or final map is not subject to Section 66493 of the Government Code, the city clerk shall transmit the final or parcel map directly to the recorder. If, however, the final or parcel map is subject to Section 66493, the final or parcel map shall be filed with the clerk of the board together with all certificates or statements and the security required by Section 66493. When all certificates or statements and security have been so filed, the clerk of the board shall so certify and within ten days transmit the final or parcel map to the recorder.

(Ord. 887 § 24, 1988: Ord. 854 § 2 (part), 1987: prior code § 11640.1)

(Ord. No. 1482, § 3, 6-6-2023)

A. The subdivider shall present to the recorder evidence that, at the time of the filing of the final or parcel map in the office of the recorder, the parties consenting to such filing are all of the parties having a record title interest in the real property being subdivided whose signatures are required by this title as shown by the records in the office of the recorder; otherwise, the map shall not be filed.

B. For purposes of this section and Sections 66436, 66439 and 66447 of the Government Code, a public entity which has obtained a prejudgment order for possession of property pursuant to Section 1255.410 of the Code of Civil Procedure shall be deemed to be the record title owner of the property or property interests described in the order, provided the order for possession has not been stayed or vacated pursuant to Sections 1255.420, 1255.430 or 1255.440 of the Code of Civil Procedure, no motion therefor is pending before the court, and the time prescribed by Section 1255.420 of the Code of Civil Procedure for filing a motion for relief from the order has passed.

C. Notwithstanding subsection (A) of this section, with respect to a division of land into four or fewer parcels, when dedications or offers of dedication are not required, the certificate need only be signed and acknowledged by the subdivider.

(Ord. 854 § 2 (part), 1987: prior code § 11640.2)

The recorder shall, within ten days of presentation of a parcel or final map, either accept or reject it for filing.

(Ord. 854 § 2 (part), 1987: prior code § 11640.3)

If the recorder rejects a final or parcel map for filing, the recorder shall, within ten days thereafter, mail notice to the subdivider and the city engineer if the map is within a city, or the county surveyor if the map is within the unincorporated area, that the map has been rejected for filing, giving the reasons therefor, and that the map is being returned to the city clerk if the map is within a city, or to the clerk of the board if the map is within the unincorporated area, for further action by the legislative body. Upon receipt of the map, the clerk shall place the map on the agenda of the next regular meeting of the legislative body and the legislative body shall, within fifteen days thereafter, rescind its approval of the map by the legislative body or any authorized advisory agency and return the map to the subdivider unless the subdivider presents evidence that the basis for the rejection by the county recorder has been removed. The subdivider may consent to a continuance of the matter; however, the prior approval of the legislative body or any authorized advisory agency shall be deemed rescinded during any period of continuance. If a map is returned to the county recorder, the county recorder shall have a new ten-day period to examine the map and either accept or reject it for filing.

(Ord. 854 § 2 (part), 1987: prior code § 11640.5)

If the recorder accepts the map for filing, such acceptance shall be certified on the face thereof and the map filed in the manner required by Section 66466(c) of the Government Code.
