TYPES OF MAPS
For the most part, the Subdivision Map Act requires tentative and final maps for subdivisions which create five
or more parcels, five or more condominiums, a community apartment project containing five or more interests,
or the conversion of a dwelling into a stock cooperative of five or more dwelling units. The exceptions are
included in Government Code Section 66426.
Generally, the Subdivision Map Act requires a parcel map if a final map is not required. Government Code
Section 66428 includes exceptions and waivers to the parcel map requirement.
