Access/Address Information within Delta CountyA Delta County Access Permit is required for all new driveways that access onto any Delta County Road. Access permits are also required any time the use of the existing access is changed (i.e., agricultural to residential), and anytime the location of the access is moved. Moving the location of the access may also cause the address for the property to be changed. The Access Permit application is available online.

Boundary AdjustmentsA boundary adjustment within Delta County is a simple process. You and your surveyor both need to fill out and sign the Boundary Adjustment Application and bring it along with a paper copy of your plat to the Planning Department. A County Planner will review the application and the plat to determine if your request is in compliance with the County Subdivision Regulations. After a County Planner has approved your application, the County Surveyor will need to review the plat for correctness. When your surveyor has finished the Mylar copy of the plat, return it, with the new deeds for each lot and with deeds for the exchange of property, to the Planning Office, and a County Planner will complete the process. The only fees collected are for the County Survey Review Fee ($120 fee) and recording fees for the plat and deeds. Recording fees will be established at plat submittal. |
