Part Lot Control Exemption

The most common reason to apply for a Part Lot Control exemption is to allow semi-detached and townhouse lots once the buildings are under construction and unit-demising foundations or party walls are in place.

Property owners can also apply for a Part Lot Control exemption to:

• divide land into smaller parcels
• change lot lines
• create part lots from whole lots for semi-detached or on-street townhouse units
• correct title
• create an easement or
• create industrial or commercial lots

A Part Lot Control process described here takes approximately Two (2) months. The timeframe will vary for complicated applications.
