Except where such merger would create a violation of then-current ordinances or regulations, all such requests shall be approved and no public hearing or notice shall be required.
No new survey plat need to be recorded, but a notice of the merger, sufficient to identify the relevant parcels and endorsed in writing by the Planning Board or its designee, shall be filed for recording in the registry of deeds, and a copy mailed to the municipality’s assessing officials. No such merged parcel shall thereafter be separately transferred without subdivision approval.
The completed form must be returned to the Center Harbor Town Office for Planning Board approval. If the Planning Board grants an approval on the lot merger, the Planning Board Clerk will request the recording fees from the property owner . Lot mergers will not be recorded until all fees are paid, the fees associated with a lot merger are based on the fee schedule set by the Belknap County Register of Deeds plus postage.
Merger will not be effective until it has been recorded as per RSA 674:39-A, and a copy showing the registry stamps is received by the Town.
