AI Summary
-
Property owners may subdivide an original parcel by deed for constructing a new residential structure without obtaining political subdivision approval of the plat, provided the use is permitted under zoning, the deed is recorded, and a plat drawing is submitted
-
Subdivided lots must be served by a sanitary sewer system, approved septic system, or permitted package plant for sewage treatment
-
Exemptions from this simplified process apply to property previously platted into lots under 1.5 acres, deed-restricted property, and planned unit developments with lots under 1.5 acres
-
When subdivision control ordinances apply, the parcel must comply with all ordinance requirements except those controlling lot size
-
Owners of newly created lots retain the same use and development rights as the original parcel, and must still obtain building permits, improvement permits, or certificates of occupancy for construction
