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
