Apply For A Subdivision Application

Subdivision of land includes the division of land into two or more parcels, adjusting an existing property (lot) line, or consolidation of two or more lots into one. As the complexity of subdivision applications can vary, it is recommended that you to discuss your ideas with City staff prior to submitting an application.

The Planning and Development Section will review and consider all subdivision applications against the requirements of the City’s Subdivision and Development Control Bylaw and the Zoning Bylaw, including minimum lot dimensions; lot area; and lot width and development servicing requirements such as sidewalk, street lighting, and sewer and water connections.

Where new strata development plans are registered with the Land Title and Survey Authority after November 30, the tax notice is only issued to the developer for the parent property. Click here for information on the apportionment process which generates a separate tax notice for each strata unit and allows new owners, if eligible, to apply for a Home Owner Grant.
