“They're communities that are created through a state process that allows people to sell interest in land without going through our standard Title 43 subdivision process. So, if you have a 10-acre lot, for instance, you can hire a surveyor to divide up the land, and you can essentially create condo association and rules and go record it And you never have to go through the subdivision process.”

They're communities that are created through a state process that allows people to sell interest in land without going through our standard Title 43 subdivision process. So, if you have a 10-acre lot, for instance, you can hire a surveyor to divide up the land, and you can essentially create condo association and rules and go record it And you never have to go through the subdivision process. And so what we found is that, uh, there's a lot of times these lots are substandard. They don't follow any of our, our Title 43 regulations. We've had it for a couple of years on our list of state priorities to change to give more local voice for condominium plats of that sort, but that was actually removed.
