State Law prohibits the connection of utility services to a lot that is not legally platted (i.e., a subdivision recorded in the County records.) Additionally, the City of Austin Land Development Code requires Subdivision approval to precede the issuance of Building Permits and/or Site Plans. Both codes provide exceptions from this requirement which are reviewed through the Land Status Determination process. Use this tool to determine if a land status can be granted for your property.
