The adjustment of property lines for the correction of record title descriptions or real property is exempt from the requirements of this chapter provided that the County Surveyor finds that the adjustment is necessary to correct erroneous deed description to coincide with the physical conditions and/or occupation lines of the properties. A written statement declaring the purpose of the correction shall be submitted to the County Surveyors office by a Registered Civil Engineer qualified to practice land surveying or a licensed Land Surveyor, along with the submittal of a Record of Survey for recordation showing the monumentation of the corners of the new property line. (Ord. 1911, § 1, 10/23/1990)

A deed or deeds must be recorded to correct the description and must have a note on the first page as follows: “The recordation of this deed is to correct record title to coincide to the physical occupation of the property. This adjustment is exempt from the provisions of the Subdivision Map Act and local ordinances enacted pursuant thereto.” (Ord. 1911, § 1, 10/23/1990)

A copy of the statement and documents will be forwarded by the County Surveyor to the Planning Department. (Ord. 1911, § 1, 10/23/1990)
