Boundary Line Adjustment
Boundary Line Adjustments (BLA’s) are the process of adjusting existing boundary lines of adjoining lots. BLA’s do not create additional lots and must meet minimum County or City lot size and setback requirements. This process allows for corrections to created gaps or overlaps of property caused by erroneous occupation or legal descriptions.
Reasons you need a BLA from APS Survey & Mapping:
- To resolve boundary issues due to fence lines, driveways or building encroachments
- To accommodate setback compliance
- To adjust lots into a more desirable configuration
