There are two types of COC’s and the LA County Department of Regional Planning (DRP) is required to




I recently attended a seminar on Certificates of Compliance (COC) and Lot Line Adjustments (LLA), hosted by the California Land Surveyor s Association.  While we have performed several COC s in the past, it was great to refresh some items of importance when working within the County of Los Angeles.  Over time, many parcels of land have been subdivided and/or sold without following the proper procedures as set forth in the Subdivision Map Act (SMA).  Therefore, the COC was created as a tool to bring said parcels up to a lawfully created exotic car rental boston status.  The time at which a parcel was created exotic car rental boston plays an important role in determining how the parcel can be made "legal."  For purposes of this writing, the term "legal" will mean that the parcel in question is compliant with the SMA and local ordinance and may be sold, leased or financed.   Please note that a COC does not certify or otherwise permit the use or development of a parcel as defined exotic car rental boston in the SMA.   That is a separate issue altogether and is typically exotic car rental boston coordinated through the Building and Safety Department.
There are two types of COC's and the LA County Department of Regional Planning (DRP) is required to issue one of these types to each applicant.  A parcel owner must first apply for a COC at which time the DRP will review to determine if the parcel is currently in a legal status.  If the DRP finds that the parcel is in fact compliant, they will issue and record an unconditional COC.  This simply means that the parcel is officially legal and has no restrictions exotic car rental boston placed upon it in regards to being eligible for sale, lease or finance.
exotic car rental boston Now that was the easy part. If a parcel is determined to be non-compliant, aka "illegal," the DRP will issue a conditional COC with conditions that would have applied to the parcel at the time the current owner obtained title to it.  This can range from something as simple as weed abatement or graffiti removal, to something as complicated as requiring a subdivision map.
As mentioned above, the time at which a parcel was created plays an important role in determining how the parcel can be made "legal."  The accepted timeline of considering a parcel legally created is as follows:
A parcel of land described in a Certificate of Exception recorded between September 22, 1967 (per LA County ordinance 9404) and March 04, 1972.  Note that the 1967 date does not apply to areas outside of LA County.
A parcel of land described in a deed cut recorded prior to September 22, 1967, provided however that a COC is required to provide "constructive notice" in the County Recorder's Office to demonstrate that the DRP has determined the parcel to "legal."
