Subdivision
What is a Subdivision?
Subdivision is the act of altering legal property boundaries. Subdivision applications involve the division of a property into smaller lots, the realignment of existing property lines or the consolidation of two or more lots in to one single property. The approval process allows the Municipality to review all of the elements of the application and ensure that the new lots meet the requirements of land use and development in the Municipality’s jurisdiction. Provincial statutes mandate subdivisions to be approved by the municipality's Approving Officer, as per the Land Title Act.
