Land division takes place when land is parceled out to facilitate sale or development, and it requires the assistance of skilled site survey experts. Based in Hillsboro, OH, McCarty Associates provides surveying services designed to simplify the land division process.  

When executing land division, certain tasks need to be completed. You'll need to get the ball rolling by contacting your local zoning office to make sure the lot's size fits local zoning regulations. Your local planning commission will also need to be contacted to figure out if the regulations allow for a simple lot split or if the land division needs to be treated as a major subdivision. 

Approval for the new lot will need to be received from your local county engineer's office, and the lot's septic system must be approved by the Board of Health. You'll have to decide whether the lot will be linked to a public sewer or if it is to have its own on-site sewer system.

Taking care of the aforementioned tasks usually takes three to five working days, and once they have all been handled, you will be ready to move on to the next step of the land division process, which involves working with a site survey company. 

The site survey company will complete field work that defines the property's borders, and they will draw a plat and prepare a legal description for the new parcel of land. They’ll send you copies of these documents, and these items will need to be taken to your local Tax Map Office to be reviewed and approved. Copies of the plat and legal description must also be delivered to your attorney to facilitate deed preparation.
