MI HB4223

Municipalities must approve or disapprove land division applications within 45 days of receiving a complete application, with municipalities of 2,500 or fewer residents able to transfer this authority to their county.

Parcels containing cemeteries must be accessible and cannot be isolated from public streets, establishing protections for landlocked cemetery parcels in the platting process.

Sellers of unplatted land must include in deeds a statement specifying the number of remaining exempt divisions that can be made and disclose potential proximity to farm operations and agricultural practices.

Property owners transferring division rights to newly created parcels must notify the assessor within 45 days and report any unallocated divisions on a state tax commission form.

Municipalities may adopt ordinances establishing standards for parcel width, area, and depth-to-width ratios, and may charge fees not exceeding the reasonable costs of reviewing division applications.
