Bill > SB0104

This bill updates and clarifies definitions and processes related to boundary adjustments and establishments for municipalities and counties in Utah. Specifically, the bill introduces two new terms: "boundary adjustment" and "boundary establishment," which provide more precise legal mechanisms for property owners to modify property lines. A "boundary adjustment" allows adjoining property owners to relocate a common boundary and transfer property between lots or parcels, while a "boundary establishment" helps clarify ambiguous or disputed boundary locations. The bill establishes clear requirements for these processes, including the need for specific documentation like conveyance documents and survey maps, and specifies that these adjustments cannot create additional lots or parcels. Land use authorities will review proposed boundary adjustments to ensure they do not affect public rights-of-way, utility easements, or violate existing land use regulations. The bill also standardizes recording procedures for these documents and ensures that county recorders confirm the legibility and completeness of submitted materials. These changes aim to provide a more streamlined and transparent process for property owners seeking to modify property boundaries while maintaining local government oversight.
