Final Map Approval Announcement:
Please be aware if you are processing a Final Map and wish to get it approved and recorded in 2021. Final Map approvals are posted by Communications Received on the Tuesday Board of Supervisors agendas. The remaining available Board meeting dates are June 29, July 13, August 17 and 31, September 14 before the Map Tax Certificates expire on September 20, 2021. To be placed on an agenda your map must be Timely Filed pursuant to the Subdivision Map Act prior to August 14, 2021. Timely Filed means all Conditions must be satisfied, Mylars and all original documents, including but not limited to the Improvement Agreement with security, recorded Map Tax Certificate and Subdivision Guarantee must be submitted to Land Development Mapping staff 4 weeks prior to your preferred Board date. If you can not meet the August 14th date, you will need to reapply through the San Diego County Tax Collector for an updated Map Tax Certificate which takes 4-8 weeks to process. 8 weeks from September 20 is November 15. That only leaves 1 available Board Date in 2021, December 7, 2021, before the updated Map Tax Certificate expires on December 31, 2021.
