How long does it take to subdivide?

The MGA and Matters Related to Subdivision and Development Regulation both require that a common application process be followed. 

Once a complete application is accepted for processing, the applicant and landowner, adjacent owners and necessary agencies are notified. The Subdivision Authority in most cases must make its decision on the application within 60 days. However, if a decision cannot be made within the 60-day timeline, there are two potential outcomes:

  1. The owner/applicant may agree to a time extension agreement with the County to allow additional time to continue with the processing of the application.
  2. The owner/applicant does not agree to a time extension agreement, and the decision is a deemed refusal.

Note:   Should an ASP or CS be required in support of a subdivision application and/or accompanying redistricting application, the subdivision application will not be deemed to be complete unless and until an ASP or CS in an acceptable, completed form has been prepared and accompanies the subdivision application.
