[WSBARP] Combining Multiple Parcels in Single Deed

[Craig Gourley]

I believe legal parcels were created by deed prior to Sept 1972 and thereafter under the subdivision statute.  Exceptions would be testamentary subdivision or maybe court order.  Tax parcels are created by the Assessor’s office and used solely for the assessment of tax. Not sure about now but in the old days you could ask the assessor to split up tax bills within a single legal parcel. Sometimes it would be to separately tax timber or ag land from a residence located on the same legal parcel.

I would like some education on what is a ‘tax parcel’ and how they come into existence, and why they are different from ‘legal parcel’, if they are.  Anyone with insiders’ knowledge, please inform us.

Thanks for all the quick responses. It is 6 tax parcels, and the REETA only has space for 3 parcel numbers. We checked with DOR and they said to add another page to the REETA listing all the parcels and assessed values.
Best,
Nick

I’ve never had a problem using one deed for multiple parcels in the same county, as long as grantor and grantee are the same for each conveyance. The REETA has multiple lines for multiple parcels.

I have done several parcels on one deed but they were contiguous.  The excise aff has several lines for parcel numbers.

Hi,
I have a fairly straightforward question. Client has acquired multiple adjacent parcels via different deeds (some came in by Quit Claim Deed from family, others by Statutory Warranty Deed by purchase). Now we want to transfer these parcels to a Living Trust. Can I transfer all of the parcels by a single quit claim deed? Are there any restrictions on this? Must they be contiguous? Property is in Spokane County, if that matters. Thanks for your help!
Best,
Nick
