Subdivision Application
Subdivision is the legal process of dividing a parcel of land into smaller lots.
Step 1: Prepare Your Application
Review the requirements for subdividing your land and gather the necessary forms and information (See Subdivision Checklist). If your proposal is complex, we recommend booking a pre-application meeting with the County to discuss your concept before formally applying. Application fees apply—see the fee schedule for details.
Step 2: Submit Your Application
Complete the Subdivision Application Form and submit it, to Lethbridge County's Planning & Development department. Applications should be complete; incomplete submissions may delay processing.
How to submit: email your application to planning@lethcounty.ca, or mail/deliver it in person to the County office.
Step 3: Circulation and Review
Once received, your application will be circulated to relevant County departments and outside agencies (such as utility providers, school divisions, or provincial bodies) as well as adjacent landowners for comment.
Step 4: Evaluation and Decision
County planning staff will evaluate your application, taking into account site suitability, access, servicing, drainage, and any comments received during circulation. Staff will then prepare a report and recommendation for the Subdivision Authority, who will render the final decision.
Step 5: Conditions and Endorsement
If approved with conditions, the developer is responsible for meeting all conditions before the subdivision can be endorsed and registered with Land Titles.
