Subdivision
The Subdivision By-law is in effect for the entire county and regulates how land may be subdivided, whether it is for one lot or for a new residential subdivision. Also, it ensures that new roads and other services, as available, meet all required standards. This by-law corresponds with the Land Use By-law in terms of required lot sizes in the various zones.
