A landowner's legal right to split a property is just the start. Zoning rules set minimum lot sizes, road access requirements mean each parcel needs driveway access, and environmental features like wetlands can block development. The Land Division Act ties it all together.
Even when division rights remain, additional systems still apply. Local zoning may establish minimum lot sizes. Road access may be required for newly created parcels. Environmental conditions such as wetlands may limit development areas. These systems interact with the Land Division Act. So the number of allowable splits is only one part of this overall evaluation.
