A plan of subdivision is a detailed and formal document that delineates the division of a larger parcel of land into smaller lots or parcels. This process is typically undertaken for the purpose of creating individual properties for residential, commercial, or industrial development. The plan of subdivision provides a graphical representation of the layout and boundaries of each subdivided lot, including the dimensions, area, and location of proposed streets, utility easements, and other relevant features.

This document is prepared by licensed land surveyors or other qualified professionals and is subject to approval by local planning authorities or governing bodies. The approval process ensures compliance with zoning regulations, land use plans, and other applicable development standards. Once approved, the plan of subdivision serves as the legal basis for the creation and registration of individual land titles for each subdivided lot, facilitating the orderly and regulated development of the larger land parcel.
