Subdivision Applications

NOTE: New Provincial Regulations for subdivision and development near abandoned wells.

What is a Subdivision?

Subdivision is the process of dividing a parcel of land into any number of smaller parcels as permitted by the County's and the Province's regulations.  Each newly created parcel is issued its own title from the Alberta Land Titles Office.  Subdivision may also include the adjustment of existing property lines between existing parcels of land referred to as a "lot line adjustment".

Who can apply?

Only the person(s) who are registered owner(s) of the land that is to be subdivided can apply for a subdivision.  However, the registered owner(s) may appoint an authorized person to act on his/her behalf.  Although anyone can be appointed, an authorized person is usually a planning consultant, land surveyor or lawyer.  Land cannot be subdivided without the permission of the registered owner(s).

How to Apply for Subdivision

Prior to submitting your formal application, a consulation with a County Planner is required to ensure that you are aware of, and familiar with, all of the existing land use planning documents and policies which may affect your application.  For additional information, please view our Subdivision Brochure.
