I am trying to sell a one-acre property I own but it seems it can't be sold because...?
...I am told by the county zoning office that "This lot is not a vested lot. It is part of lot 27." What does that mean? I know it was part of a two-acre property. I bought one of the acres and paid for it. But what does 'vested' mean? Many thanks for any information.

Talk to the zoning department. If your property was at one time part of a larger parcel, perhaps it wasn't subdivided illegally or prior to subdividing the county passed a law that you must have a minimum of 2 acres. If that's the case, then your one acre was split off after that and has not vested rights.

Vested - Adjective
Secured in the possession of or assigned to a person: "a state law vested the ownership of all wild birds to the individual counties".
Protected or established by law or contract.
You should probably talk to your county zoning office again and see how this can be resolved.

It means that you don't have a property title so you cant sell your "bit". You better check what's going on, didn't you do proper searches etc before you bought? People just can't go "cutting up" lots of land and selling them off without the sub division being approved by the local zoning authority. Your sub division isn't registered or recognized so you need to find out what has to be done to get the sub division approved.
