Summary

This layer identifies King County parcels subject to a recorded Critical Areas Notice on Title (CANT), also known as a Notice of Sensitive Area (NOSA).

State and County code require that, when a critical area (such as a wetland, steep slope, or other environmentally sensitive feature) is present on or near a parcel, a notice disclosing applicable development restrictions be recorded against the parcel's title with the King County Recorder's Office.

This layer supports identifying which parcels carry such a recorded notice.

Description

This layer contains one feature per recorded Critical Areas Notice on Title (CANT) document, joined to the King County parcel boundary (PIN) it applies to.

A parcel may have more than one recorded notice over time.

While likely not comprehensive due to changes in code over time, this dataset is cumulative and broadly represents the history of these notices in King County since the early 1990s.This feature class is maintained by a monthly pipeline which adds newly recorded records to the data.
