FAQ
Which permits and approvals should I plan for with a SB9 lot split project in Los Angeles?
An SB9 lot split in Los Angeles is an urban lot split, not a conventional parcel map. Plan for a survey, easements, separate APNs, and Bureau of Engineering plus Planning. Building permits come later. 121 Design Build in Encino maps that sequence. This page is not legal advice.
Direct answer
An urban lot split under SB9 is not a conventional parcel map.
Which permits and approvals you should plan for with an SB9 lot split project in Los Angeles start with the urban lot split itself: survey, easements, and separate APNs, then BOE and Planning. Building permits are a later step after the parcels exist.
121 Design Build can coordinate the SB9 lot split Los Angeles path from Encino. Call (424) 600-2100 or email info@121designbuild.com.
We do not invent Encino fees or give legal advice. City forms and title conditions are confirmed with the agencies and the surveyor.
What an SB9 lot split actually files
Survey, easements, separate APNs, then building permits later.
Survey and easements
A survey and easement map come first so the urban lot split can be drawn against real property lines, not a guess on an Encino ranch lot.
Separate APNs
Separate APNs are the point of an SB9 lot split. Bureau of Engineering and Planning review that split. Building permits wait until the parcels exist.
Building permits later
121 Design Build will not invent which form LADBS wants after the split. Call (424) 600-2100.
Encino SB9 lot split
Survey stakes and two Encino lots after an SB9 lot split.
121 Design Build is on Ventura Boulevard in Encino. An SB9 lot split is mapped to your address, easements, and whether two APNs can be created.
We do not invent a parcel map shortcut. For urban lot split permits in general, see our urban lot split permits page. Building a house is a later conversation.

1. Survey
A licensed survey draws the proposed line, existing house, and access so the urban lot split is not a sketch.

2. Easements
Easements for driveways, utilities, and drainage are listed before BOE and Planning will treat two lots as real.

3. BOE and Planning
Bureau of Engineering and Planning review the SB9 lot split. This is not a conventional parcel map hearing.
