COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT CORNER
What is a Lot Combination?

The Town of Dewey-Humboldt
works with the Yavapai County Assessor’s office to make it possible for
property owners to combine their lots
into a new larger lot.
The Lot Combination process is
a simple administrative action that
takes approximately 2 weeks to accomplish.
The process starts with the
completion of a Lot Combination application form that demonstrates that:
 The names of the individuals
holding title on each parcel
match exactly.
 The type of ownership on the
titles is the same.
 You must have approval of the
Town
 If the lots are from different subdivision, letters from each homeowner’s association approving
the combination is required.
 Parcels that are non-contiguous
or separated by dedicated rightof-way cannot be combined.
 Property taxes must be paid in
full prior to existing parcels being
deleted from the property rolls.

To begin the process, contact
Steven Brown, of the Community Development Department of the Town of
Dewey-Humboldt at 928-632-7362.

PERMITS ISSUED:
The Town’s Building Department
issued the following permits in November. This information is to indicate
growth in the community.

 Manufactured Home—2
