Pursuant to §17-27a-605 of Utah State Code (as amended), an owner of at least one hundred (100) contiguous acres of agricultural land may make one (1) new minor subdivision parcel by submitting for recording with the County Recorder: 1. A recordable deed containing the legal description of the minor subdivision lot, along with a record of survey which created the parcel description; and 2. A notice: a. Indicating that the owner of the land to be divided is making a minor subdivision, which refers specifically to the authority to do so as granted by §17-27a-605 of Utah State Code (as amended); b.

The minor subdivision lot is not subject to this title; and d. Land to be divided by a minor subdivision may not include divided land. Divided land is described as the land to be divided in a notice under subsection 2 of this section, or land that has been previously divided as a minor subdivision. 4. The County may not deny a building permit to an owner of a minor subdivision lot based on: a. The lot’s status as a minor subdivision lot or the absence of standards in subsection 5 of this section; and b. May, in connection with the issuance of a building permit, subject the minor subdivision lot to reasonable health, safety, and access standards that the County has established and made public. 5. Prior to the issuance of a building permit on a minor subdivision lot, the following information shall be provided to the County, in addition to any submittal requirements of the County’s Building Official: a. A site plan showing the location of the proposed building in relation to parcel boundaries prepared by a surveyor licensed in the State of Utah, to ensure that the building meetings all setback standards of the zone in which the minor subdivision lot resides; b. Proof of purchase of a culinary water right, including copies of the actual certificate and right, and verification of wet water that will provide culinary and fire suppression requirements, pursuant to the health and safety requirements for water supply; c. Evidence of legal access to the property that complies with County requirements; d. Evidence that the proposed building site complies with the provisions for adequate fire suppression and access including the International Fire Code and Wildland Urban Interface Code; and e. Evidence of wastewater permit, water source protection area, and final well approval from the Health Department for the new minor subdivision lot. 6. The Land Use Authority shall verify any conditions of approval of the subdivision and building permit in writing prior to the recording of the minor subdivision lot and the issuance of a building permit. 7. Recordation. Once an approval of a minor subdivision has been granted, the recordable deed including the legal description(s) along with the Land Use Authority’s certificate of written approval as described in §17-27a-605 of Utah State Code (as amended) shall be recorded with the County Recorder. If recordation has not been completed within six (6) months from the date of the Land Use Authority’s approval, the application will be deemed to have been abandoned, and a new application shall be required. 13.12.010 13.12.020
