Plans of Subdivision or Condominium

Plans of subdivision divide larger parcels of land into smaller lots. A subdivision agreement confirms the property owner's responsibilities for development of this land. Plans of subdivision usually involve the division of three or more lots, and the construction of new roads and services. 

Plans for creating fewer than three lots generally require an application for consent instead of a plan of subdivision. 

Apply for a plan of Subdivision or Condominium or Part Lot Control Exemption:

Pursuant to Bill 23, as of January 1, 2025, the Region of Durham is defined by the province as an "upper-tier municipality without planning responsibilities." As such, the Township of Scugog has assumed approval authority for all Planning Act decisions, except as prescribed by the Ministry of Municipal Affairs and Housing. This includes approval for Draft Plans of Subdivisions and Condominiums, as well as Part Lot Control Exemptions. A Pre-consultation meeting is highly recommended prior to submitting these applications.

A registered plan of subdivision legally implements an approved draft plan of subdivision and legally separates parcels of land for individual sale. A registered plan of subdivision must include: 

• Exact survey boundaries and dimensions of lots where houses or buildings will be built 
• Location, width and names of streets 
• Locations of any schools, parks or other structures included in the plan
