Steps taken to create or modify subdivision layers: Applicant submits application for subdivision approval along with various documents and surveys.

Assigned Subdivision Technician reviews development with all parties and prepares Letter of Approval to be signed by Approving Officer outlining all requirements and conditions of subdivision, Once applicant has satisfied prerequisites, the signed Survey plan is deposited in Land Titles Office (LTO) along with all associated documentation. Planning Technician accesses the LTO Tax system to gather information relevant for entering into the Permit Plan system. Once permit plan database is updated, Planning Technician informs Mapping Technician of all necessary changes needed to be made to the subdivision layers.
