November 24, 1992 is the date when subdivision regulations were first adopted in Box Elder County. Due to this fact, if a parcel was created prior to this date and conforms to the underlying zoning (if in a zoned area), the parcel is considered legal. If a parcel was created after this date and did not go through the subdivision process to be created, then it is considered illegal. If a parcel is considered illegal, it will need to go through the subdivision process and meet all zoning requirements for the applicable zone or unzoned areas to be considered legal.
