Subdivision is the process of creating or altering the legal boundaries of land.

If you want to subdivide your property, you will require City approval.

How do I apply for a Subdivision?

  1. Book a pre-application meeting with Planning and Land Use.
  2. Have a surveyor or professional planner complete the Plan of Proposed Subdivision and submit the Subdivision Application Form to Planning and Land Use in person or by email.
  3. Pay the applicable fees outlined below.

Your Subdivision application can take several months to go through the Subdivision Application Process.

Once the subdivision approval is granted by the City and the Plan of Proposed Subdivision is approved by Information Services Corporation (ISC) a Transform Approval Certificate (TAC) is issued.

Please note that the Transform Approval Certificate (TAC) requires you to take additional steps through ISC or a Lawyer to create title to the new parcels.
