How do I apply for a subdivision?

It's recommended to setup a pre-application meeting to meet with the County’s Planning and Community Services department to discuss the application requirements. To arrange such a meeting, call 780-632-2082, or email planning@minburncounty.ab.ca. You should have the legal description of your property available and identify the purpose of the application.

At the meeting, the County will verify the land use designation of your property and discuss with you information requirements, application procedures, the timeline for the application to be processed, and any matters of concern related to your interest to subdivide.

You may also wish to obtain relevant portions of any planning documents such as the Municipal Development Plan, Land Use Bylaw, or an Area Structure Plan if one exists in the subject area. These documents may restrict or prohibit the proposed use of the land. For more complicated applications the use of professional consulting services may reduce the overall subdivision or development costs, and improve the time required to register a plan of subdivision.
