Most jurisdictions won't approve a parcel division unless each new lot has recorded access to a public road. This can be road frontage or a recorded easement. Without it, the division gets denied.

In most cases, access must be formally established and recorded before a parcel division can be approved. This may occur through recorded road frontage or through a recorded access easement. Recording the access ensures that each parcel has a legally recognized right to reach a public road. Without recorded access, the parcel division may not be approved.
