§ 12.3. Transfer of lots in unapproved subdivisions.

It shall be unlawful for the owner or agent of the owner of any land to be subdivided within the county to transfer or sell or agree to sell or negotiate to sell such land by reference to or exhibition of or by other use of a plat or subdivision of such land before such final plat has been duly approved and recorded in the office of the clerk of the court in and for the county. The description of metes and bounds in the instrument of transfer or other document used in the process of selling or transfer shall not exempt the transaction from the requirements of this subsection. The county may enjoin such transfer or sale or agreement by appropriate action.
