Lot Split Question Sacramento

[David Oldenburg]

Hi, I have a friend who purchased a 1.3 acre parcel as an investment.  They want to split it into 2 parcels, each about 2/3 acre.  They have never done this before, and I have also never split a lot.  I am hearing everything from a few thousand to $40,000 to get it done, and everywhere between 3 months to a year.  Is there anyone who can offer me more than just a "guess"? Someone who has actually split a lot in Sacramento County, and knows how to get it done for the lowest price and fastest time period... thank you!

 to add to what @Dennis Lanni 

  Dennis mentioned  Simply have your client make an appointment with a good civil that has land planning and surveying in their office and ask for a bid to get the job done.

As you will have to hire these folks anyways.. they will within 30 minutes or so be able to tell your client basic costs and time frame.

2k and a few months is not going to happen, When I worked in Sac county 20 years ago lot splits were much longer even then and I can't see it happening any quicker today.

It should be an over the counter decision from the planning department IE no public hearings etc.. However have the engineer confirm.

Also you want a bid from engineer so first meeting should be free.
