Question 1

I have a plot that I'm not going to use. What do I do?

Accepted Answer

Due to the limited space, we ask Lummi Island residents and families to please keep our records updated. If you decide not to use  the plot(s), we will put you on our list of plots for sale. Purchaser and seller can negotiate purchase/sale prices and have a Quit Claim Deed written up. We can provide one and have it recorded for the current price of recording at the Whatcom County Auditor's office. Send a copy of the new Quit Claim Deed to WCCD#2 Commissioners with the new owner's information for updating our records. We will send it to the new owners.
