“SUBDIVISION”- any reduction in size of a parcel or tract of land by dividing it into 2 or more smaller pieces.
The above description explains what a subdivision is but we’re going to explain how that process is done. It’s listed below in chronological order.
1. First- a licensed land surveyor must be hired to survey the property. It this point a new plat (plot) plan will be made by the surveyor showing the location of the new surveyed property in relation to adjoining properties and landmarks. Usually takes 30-45 days.
2. Second- this new plat plan must be presented to the County Planning Commission for review & approval. Usually takes 30 days.
3. Third- after the County Planning Commission approves the plat plan it is taken to the Township for approval by their board and signed by all parties involved. Usually takes 30-45 days.
4. Fourth- a Real Estate Attorney must generate a new deed for that parcel and have it recorded at the County Courthouse. Usually takes 30-45 days.
This note is very important! A deed search will also be done to make sure that there is no lien against the property that is being sub-divided. If there is it’s better to know when the First part is done otherwise it could take months longer to get the deed for the sub-divided property.
