What is ‘Dividing-Consolidating Land, & Subdivision’?

While many associate the term subdivision with large-scale residential developments, it also includes simpler processes such as:
• Dividing one lot into multiple lots
• Combining two or more lots into a single parcel

This service—called Dividing-Consolidating Land & Subdivision—is administered by our office and guided by the Community Planning Act and Subdivision Regulation 80-159 (or municipal subdivision by-laws where applicable). These by-laws govern minimum lot sizes, widths, and depths by zone.
