Lot un-merger under R.I.G.L. §45-24-38(C)
Whether owners of administratively merged substandard lots can invoke the 2024 state law to unmerge them is an open legal question that may end up before the Rhode Island Supreme Court. The outcome affects how hundreds of legacy merged lots across town can be developed.
