WHAT IS A SUBDIVISION?
A subdivision is the division of a parcel of land described on a
Certificate of Title. A subdivision can occur when a single land title is split into two or
more parts, property boundaries are rearranged, or a lease, mortgage
or other instrument is registered that has the effect of subdividing
the parcel.
WHEN IS SUBDIVISION APPROVAL REQUIRED?
With
a few exceptions, a subdivision must be approved under The
Planning Act before it can be accepted for registration at the
Land Titles Office.
WHO APPROVES A SUBDIVISION?
The Minister of Intergovernmental Affairs is the Approving Authority for
subdivisions outside of the City of Winnipeg. This responsibility has
been delegated to certain planning district boards or to the regional
offices of the Community Planning Services Branch of Manitoba
Intergovernmental Affairs.
