Additional Information
The City does not record lot line adjustment maps. Therefore, you should request that the
Lane County Department of Assessment and Taxation combine the property being transferred
into the same tax lot as the recipient lot. The recipient lot should then be considered
as a consolidated single land unit for tax purposes.
If you have any questions, please call me at (503) 726-3759.
