It may be necessary to subdivide a parcel to create a property that is the appropriate size for your business. Subdivision is the process of dividing a larger parcel of land into smaller parcels, so that separate Certificates of Title can be registered by the Land Titles Office. To subdivide, you must make application to the City Planning department.All applications are referred to The City's Municipal Planning Commission for a decision. There is a 19-day appeal period, which must expire before the Provincial Land Titles Office will issue new titles. Fees and deposits are assessed for the initial application and again at final approval for each new lot created. It takes approximately two months to process a subdivision application, assuming it is not appealed, plus processing by the Land Titles Office.
