Help, should I do a Land division in NE Portland as a newbie

[Kevin Asgharian]

Hi, Looking for help/insight on Land division in NE PDX.  Let me know your thoughts and experience please!

I was looking at a property with an existing home that could easily have a flag lot behind it (link below).  Since I haven't done this before, I was curious what everyone's experience is with the City of Portland and if you would recommend it to someone looking at their first deal.  I've heard in general the city is difficult, frustrating and slow.   The land division process seems straight forward (link also below).

you may want to hire a company to do this for you  ... city is frustrating ... although I just did a PLA merging 4 lots and creating 3.. and I was able to do that myself.. took 5 seperate trips and a year to the city.
