<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color:#1F497D">I am pretty sure deed is valid--a deed just conveys real property even if it's just a postage stamp of land that it describes, and zoning/building codes and "legal tax parcels" are all just overlayers of regulation.
I think what you have is a tax parcel that is owned not by undivided interests in the whole (tenants in common), but in separate chunks--I think that would be called ownership in severalty?<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color:#1F497D"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color:#1F497D">It's really a category problem--depends on what you choose to define as "parcel." "Parcel" could mean the land described in a deed, or it could mean a tax parcel as defined by the county. The county won't recognize
the deed parcel as a tax parcel, so for all tax and administrative purposes, the tax parcel is owned partly by one person and partly by another.<o:p></o:p></span></p>

<p class="MsoNormal">Listmates, I am wondering what rights are created when property is transferred via an illegal subdivision. By example, someone transfers the north one third of a lot to a buyer. No BLA, no short plat, just a deed. My initial presumption
is that buyer owns the property but just can’t get a building permit. Is the transfer void on its face or voidable or neither? I am being lazy tonight and thought I would ask those who may have already researched the matter. Thanks, Craig
