Land Division and Subdivision

General Information

No subdivision, land division, or replat within the Village's jurisdiction shall be approved or recorded without compliance with all requirements of Village Ordinance Title III Chapter 1.  

The Village has several approval processes depending on the size of the land division or subdivision.  

• Subdivisions - For a single act of dividing land that creates five (5) or more lots that are each less than 40 acres in size OR when multiple acts of dividing land within five (5) years creates five (5) or more lots that are each less than 40 acres in size.  This act requires a two-part approval process called a Preliminary Plat Review and Final Plat Review.
• Land Divisions - For a single act of dividing land that creates four (4) or fewer lots that are each less than 40 acres in size.  This act requires a "certified survey map" approval.  

Extraterritorial Land Divisions and Subdivisions

The Village has stated its intent to exercise its Extraterritorial Jurisdiction powers in reviewing land divisions and subdivisions within 1 1/2 miles of the Village boundaries.  Depending on the amount of created lots the same certified survey map or platting process applies.
