Subdivision is a legal process to obtain title to a new parcel of land by dividing larger parcels of land into smaller lots. The time and cost of the subdivision process depends on each application, on factors such as:
the type of land you own (your land designation or what your land is zoned as)
your level of experience (some Rocky Viewers have never gone through the process before, some have no experience but have hired professional help such as land agents, and surveyors and developers who just need to know what the County’s processes are)
the nature of your application (number of lots proposed, servicing, access, etc.)
You can look up your current land use designation on the Rocky View County Atlas, and refer to the Land Use Bylaw [Part 4] (PDF) for the rules covering that use.
The Subdivision Process
This is a general overview of how the subdivision application process works.
Step One: Prepare your Proposal
Review the requirements of subdividing your land, which are listed in each application package (see Forms & Documents, below). Ensure you have read and completed all of the application forms and checklists. If you have a complex proposal, you may want to book a pre-application meeting with the County’s Planning department, or consider hiring a consultant to help you.
Please note that the County charges fees for consultations and applications. View fees (PDF)
While County staff can assist with and process your application, they cannot predict whether your application will be approved or refused by Council.
Step Two: Submit Your Subdivision Application
Prepare and submit your subdivision application to the County’s Planning Services department. Applications should be complete. Incomplete applications may delay the process.
Depending on your application, these are the forms you will need to make your application. We recommend you use the checklist to determine which forms you need to submit.
