If I bought 1 acre of land in Southern California and wanted to
subdivide it into 2 lots so I could sell each separately, what sort of
fee or cost would I have to pay?

Hello sundown858-ga,

What county and city is the property in?

I found subdivision filing fees for Los Angeles County, but the fees
are probably different in other counties or cities.

Googlenut,
The land is in the City of San Bernardino which is in San Bernardino
County.  Naturally I'm most interested in that county, but if you
can't find it, I would be satisfied to find out the LA county as well
since I'm trying to get a general idea.

Hello sundown858-ga,

It took a little digging but I think I found the information that you
are looking for.

The San Bernardino County Schedule of Fees is in the San Bernardino
County Code under:

Title1 Government and Administration
DIVISION 6: COUNTY FEES
Chapter 2: Schedule of Fees

Unfortunately, I had a problem trying to provide a direct link to it.

You can find it by going to the San Bernardino County webpage at:
http://www.sbcounty.gov

Click on ?County Code? under ?Quick Hits? on the upper right side of the page.

This takes you to:

San Bernardino County Code 
http://www.sbcounty.gov/countycodes/

Click on ?Title1 Government and Administration? in the menu on the
upper left of the page.

Click on ?DIVISION 6: COUNTY FEES? in the center of the page.

You will then see ?Chapter 2: Schedule of Fees? in the center of the
page.  However, this link didn?t work when I tried it.  Maybe it will
work for you.

You can also download Title 1 in its entirety (625 pages) by clicking
on ?Download Complete Title Documents? in the menu on the left side of
the page near the bottom.

Title 1
GOVERNMENT AND ADMINISTRATION
http://www.sbcounty.gov/countycodes/pdf2section/title1.pdf


Another way to get to the Schedule of Fees is to click on ?Search? on
the upper right of the page.

County Code Search
http://www.sbcounty.gov/countycodes/search.html

A search for ?county fees chapter 2? will bring it up first in the list.


I believe the information that you are looking for can be found in
section 16.0215A Land Use and Development Review ? Planning, part (k)
Subdivision:
Minor subdivision/tentative parcel map (4 or less parcels).



You may also want to take a look at the City of San Bernardino
Schedule of Fees, although I didn?t find anything related to land
division.

Go to the City of San Bernardino webpage
http://www.ci.san-bernardino.ca.us/

Click on ?Departments? on the left side of the page.

Click on ?Development Services? in the menu in the center of the page.

Scroll to the bottom of the page and click on ?Public Works Division?.

Click on ?Development Services/Public Works Web Page?

Scroll down to: ?Engineering Fee Schedules?. Click on ?Schedule of
Engineering fees effective July 15, 2003 through July 15, 2004.?



For the Los Angeles County fee information that I mentioned go to:

Los Angeles County Department Of Regional Planning
Fee Schedule
http://planning.co.la.ca.us/drp_fees.html



You may also be interested in the San Bernardino County Development Code.
http://www.co.san-bernardino.ca.us/landuseservices/devcode.htm


The San Bernardino County Development Code 
Division 3 Procedures
83.040320 Minor Subdivision Procedures.
http://www.co.san-bernardino.ca.us/landuseservices/DevCode/803-Procedures.pdf
?The provisions for the review of minor subdivision, plot plans,
Tentative and Parcel
Maps shall be as required in Section 83.040220 of this Code, unless otherwise
indicated in that section.
Readopted Ordinance 3341 (1989)

83.040325 Parcel Map Procedures.
This section shall govern the procedures for the processing, approval, conditional
approval, and disapproval of an application to subdivide land into
four (4) lots or less
with or without a remainder parcel, or more when a Parcel Map has been required in
lieu of a Final Map and filing Parcel Maps.?
