Subdivision regulation refers to the rules and standards governing the division of land into smaller parcels for development. These regulations ensure that new subdivisions are designed with adequate infrastructure, such as roads, utilities, and public services, while protecting environmental resources and promoting orderly growth.
Subdivision regulations typically address lot size, street layout, drainage, hazard mitigation, and the provision of open space or community facilities.
