Plan of Subdivision or Condominium

The Plan of Subdivision or Plan of Condominium  process ensures that:

• The land is suitable for its proposed new use;
• The proposal conforms to the official plan and zoning by-law, as well as to provincial legislation and policies; and,

A Plan of Subdivision or Plan of Condominium process described here takes approximately six (6) to ten (10) months.
