Unfortunately, there is no exemption in the subdivision code in King County, or the city of Seattle, or in a lot of other counties and municipalities for a court ordered division of property so so that if you follow that process You need to make sure that the
resulting parcels still have the same zoning and building, set back and density requirements that may be necessary for the development of the property. I I believe there is one Washington case. Either in the court of appeals, or supreme court that ruled on
this issue.<br>

<div dir="ltr"> Yes, I have dealt with this issue in both Seattle and King County. If you call and speak with someone about it, they will tell you that you need to go through their review process. Sure! Charge me a ton of money and take a year or two of my
time to review it.

<div>I would love to challenge their position but it is cheaper and faster for the parties to reach a resolution, file an adverse possession action and submit a stipulated judgment and order. Silly that two affected landowners can’t do exactly what RCW 58.04.007
says they can do. <br>

<div>Dear boundary line gurus,</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>To resolve a boundary dispute, two neighboring parcels (in Seattle) have agreed to enter into a Boundary Line Agreement pursuant to RCW 58.04.007. However, we're getting pushback from Chicago Title. Their latest response is pasted in below. Any thoughts
on how to get this across the finish line?</div>

here, we acknowledge that a Boundary Line Agreement is an option to resolve boundary line disputes or discrepancies under RCW 58.04.007. However, in our experience, King County will likely assert their formal boundary line adjustment administrative review
process needs to be followed, too. Presumptively, the City of Seattle would take the same stance. It’s likely building and repair permits would be denied in the future if they don’t obtain city approval. Also, the county assessor might decline to change the
tax roll to match the new boundaries.</span></span></span></p>
