New recombination policy takes effect in Lee County
Lee County Government, through its Strategic Services Department, has enacted a new policy for the recombination of property that took effect this week.
As of Monday, no property changes will be made to properties described in a recombination plat unless an affidavit of recombination or a recombination deed or a deed of transfer (of the whole combined lot) referencing the new recombination plat is also recorded. Affidavits of recombination, recombination deeds or deeds of transfer must conform to the Unified Development Ordinance standards, as well as all planning and development requirements.
Owners are encouraged to consult with an attorney regarding the impact of combining parcels. Recombination plats recorded without an affidavit of recombination or a recombination deed or a deed of transfer will not be acted upon by Strategic Services to effectuate a recombination of the properties.
Once parcels are combined, any future subdividing of the resulting parcel will be subject to compliance with all planning ordinances.
For questions related to the new recombination of property policy, contact the Strategic Services Department at 919-718-4663.
