Article 6. Filing Maps With County Recorder

66464.  (a) Unless otherwise provided by the county, if the final
map or parcel map is not subject to Section 66493, after the approval
by the city of a final map of a subdivision or a parcel map, the
city clerk shall transmit the map to the county recorder.
   (b) If a final map or parcel map is subject to Section 66493,
after all certificates or statements and security required under
Section 66493 have been filed and deposited with the clerk of the
board of supervisors and approved by the county, the clerk of the
board of supervisors shall certify or state that the certificates and
statements have been filed and deposits have been made and shall
transmit the final map or parcel map to the county recorder.
   (c) After the approval by the county of a final or parcel map of a
subdivision within unincorporated territory, the map shall be
transmitted ultimately to the county recorder.



66465.  The subdivider shall present to the county recorder evidence
that, at the time of the filing of the final or parcel map in the
office of the county recorder, the parties consenting to such filing
are all of the parties having a record title interest in the real
property being subdivided whose signatures are required by this
division, as shown by the records in the office of the recorder,
otherwise the map shall not be filed.
   For purposes of this section and Sections 66436, 66439, and 66447,
a public entity which has obtained a prejudgment order for
possession of property pursuant to Section 1255.410 of the Code of
Civil Procedure shall be deemed to be the record title owner of the
property or property interests described in the order, provided the
order for possession has not been stayed or vacated pursuant to
Section 1255.420, 1255.430, or 1255.440 of the Code of Civil
Procedure, no motion therefor is pending before the court, and the
time prescribed by Section 1255.420 of the Code of Civil Procedure
for filing a motion for relief from the order has passed.



66466.  (a) The county recorder shall have not more than 10 days
within which to examine a final or parcel map and either accept or
reject it for filing.
   (b) If the county recorder rejects a final or parcel map for
filing, the county recorder shall, within 10 days thereafter, mail
notice to the subdivider and the city engineer if the map is within a
city, or the county surveyor if the map is within the unincorporated
area, that the map has been rejected for filing, giving the reasons
therefor, and that the map is being returned to the city clerk if the
map is within a city, or to the clerk of the board if the map is
within the unincorporated area, for action by the legislative body.
Upon receipt of the map, the clerk shall place the map on the agenda
of the next regular meeting of the legislative body and the
legislative body shall, within 15 days thereafter, rescind its
approval of the map and return the map to the subdivider unless the
subdivider presents evidence that the basis for the rejection by the
county recorder has been removed. The subdivider may consent to a
continuance of the matter; however, the prior approval of the
legislative body shall be deemed rescinded during any period of
continuance. If a map is returned to the county recorder, the county
recorder shall have a new 10-day period to examine the map and either
accept or reject it for filing.
   (c) If the county recorder accepts the map for filing, the
acceptance shall be certified on the face thereof. The map shall be
securely fastened in a book of subdivision maps, in a book of parcel
maps, or in a book of cities and towns which shall be kept for that
purpose, or in any other manner as will assure that the maps will be
kept together. The map shall become a part of the official records of
the county recorder upon its acceptance by the county recorder for
filing. If the preparer of the map provides a postage-paid,
self-addressed envelope or postcard with the filing of the map, the
county recorder shall provide the preparer of the map with the filing
data within 10 days of the filing of the map. For the purposes of
this subdivision, "filing data" includes the date, book or volume,
and the page at which the map is filed by the county recorder.
   (d) The fee for filing and indexing the map is as prescribed in
Section 27372 of the Government Code.
   (e) The original map shall be stored for safekeeping in a
reproducible condition. The county recorder may maintain for public
reference a set of counter maps that are prints of the original maps
and produce the original maps for comparison upon demand.
   (f) Upon the filing of any map, including amended maps and
certificates of correction for recordation pursuant to this section
or any record of survey pursuant to the Professional Land Surveyors'
Act (Chapter 15 (commencing with Section 8700) of Division 3 of the
Business and Professions Code), the surveyor or engineer who prepared
the document shall transmit a copy of the document, including all
recording information, to the county surveyor, who shall maintain an
index, by geographic location, of the documents. The county surveyor
may charge a fee not to exceed the fee charged for recording the
document, for purposes of financing the costs of maintaining the
index of the documents.
   The requirements of this subdivision shall not apply to any county
that requires a document filed pursuant to this section to be
transmitted to the county surveyor and requires that official to
maintain an index of those documents.



66467.  This chapter shall not prevent filing in the office of the
county recorder of a final or parcel map of a subdivision for which a
final or parcel map is not required, provided such map meets the
requirements of this division and any local ordinance.



66468.  The filing for record of a final or parcel map by the county
recorder shall automatically and finally determine the validity of
such map and when recorded shall impart cconstructive notice thereof.



66468.1.  Whenever separate documents are to be recorded
concurrently with the final or parcel map pursuant to Section 66435.1
or 66445, the county recorder shall complete the cross-reference to
such concurrently recorded separate documents.




66468.2.  The board of supervisors may, by resolution, authorize any
county officer to:
   (a) Perform the duties required of the clerk of the board of
supervisors under this article.
   (b) Approve the security for payment of taxes required pursuant to
subdivision (b) of Section 66464 if that county officer also
performs the other duties required of the clerk of the board of
supervisors under that subdivision.
