I had other legal issues with the deed unrelated to the subdivision that delayed everything significantly. I'll write up an answer about the stuff relevant to this question when the process is completed. | |

You will probably need a surveyor any way to write up the exact changes to the land. It seems like your in a residential neighborhood so I doubt there will be any zoning issues. In the US their is a "vacant land sale" document,I used one. Get 4, get spares, have a surveyor fill out the legal descriptions. It is many pages long, and includes a spot for selling price. I had to get a lawyer, but my real estate agent had the necessary credentials.(was also real estate lawyer) | |

Selling off bits and pieces to neighbors almost certainly doesn't come under those laws. As JoeTaxpayer says, talk to the folks at the town hall and you shouldn't have too much trouble. | |

| May 24, 2017 at 16:17 | comment | added | NL - SE listen to your users | @JoeTaxpayer It is precisely 1 acre, and it's zoned agricultural, but I don't think there would be any zoning issue for the change. It's an area where all of the agricultural plots are quickly disappearing. It's 85' wide and ~513' long, and it is completely landlocked except for one of the narrow sides that touches the street. There's another street parallel to the long side with homes that have parcels that are 80' deep and 105' wide, this change would allow all those parcels to be 165' deep while still 105' wide. | |

I've seen strange shaped parcels, similar to as you describe, where the 'extra' strip of land is there so that parcel is a full acre, or it might reflect an original road access prior to other roads creation. | |
