01/10/2023 the Board of County Commissioners approved Ordinance No. C-04-23 amending ICC 16.06 regarding boundary line adjustments, lot combinations, boundary line corrections, and large lot segregations. 

 What this means for applicants:

• Boundary Line Adjustments, Corrections, and Lot Combinations all have the  same new application requirements which can be found here.
• Large Lot Segregations now allow for a minimum of 40 acre parcels after division. Any smaller land divisions of large lots will need to be done through the Island County preliminary and final subdivision processes.
