    This adds a new definition for 'split' to clarify the process of dividing land.

  • Section 354.28

    The county assessor or county auditor, as applicable, shall not approve a split or consolidation for which a plat of survey or acquisition plat is not required, unless each parcel involved in the split or consolidation is not within the redemption period under chapter 447 or the period specified in section 448.12 following a tax sale under chapter 446 and is free from unpaid property taxes, special assessments, and drainage assessments for which a waiver or abatement has not been approved.
