To split a parcel of property in Waterford Township you must file a lot split application at the Assessing Department. Along with the lot split application the applicant shall provide 4 copies of a drawing and legal description of the requested splits prepared by a registered land surveyor or professional engineer to scale (not less than 1 foot equals 100 feet), drawings shall show all existing structures on the parcel which are within 50 feet of the boundary lines of the parcel to be split.

 Please note that an assessor may waive the above requirements on simple lot splits.

All taxes must be paid and all parties who have a legal interest in the property must sign off on the lot split application.
