Plan of subdivision and plan of condominium applications
Developers who want to divide land into two or more parcels for selling, or whose parcels require the creation of a municipal street, need a plan of subdivision; a standard, common-elements or conversion condominium needs a plan of condominium.
The municipality lists what to submit. CodeEase shows what the building code asks of it. See CodeEase →
