What is Land Division Application Form – Wyoming, MI?
The Land Division Application Form, titled "Application for Land Division" on the PDF, is the City of Wyoming, Michigan, form on which an owner asks the City Assessor's Office to divide one or more existing parcels. It is submitted with a set of required attachments.
The form collects applicant information (including the applicant's interest in the property), owner information, and the parcel numbers and addresses of the parcels involved. It ends with a certification, "I hereby request a division of the above parcel(s) in the City of Wyoming," which the owner signs. Parcel numbers on the form begin with 41-.
The Assessor's Office processes land division and combination applications. The city's Assessor's Office page explains that, before an application is made, the Assessor's Office together with the Planning and Inspection departments informally reviews a proposed plan for compliance with State and local laws. If the plan is approved, the owner completes this form and submits it with all required attachments.
Upon approval, the land division takes effect the tax year following submission. The lower part of the form, "City Use Only," is completed by the city: the Assessor's Office review (including whether the Land Division Act and City ordinance requirements are met and whether the parent parcel is in a DDA) and an additional review with decisions from Planning, Inspections and Engineering. Applicants do not fill in that part.
