ALL QUESTIONS MUST BE ANSWERED AND ALL ATTACHMENTS INCLUDED
FOR PROCESSING OF THIS APPLICATION.
Approval of a division and/or re-description of land is required before it is sold when a new parcel is less than 40 acres and
not just a property line adjustment (Sec 102e & f). This form is designed to comply with applicable zoning, land
division ordinances, and Section 108 and 109 of the Michigan Land Division Act (formerly the subdivision control
act, PA 288 of 1967 as amended [particularly by PA 591 of 1996], PA 87 of 1997, MCL 560.101 et. seq.), and/or the
Condominium Act (PA 59 of 1987, as amended) and PA 23 of 2019.
$_________________ APPLICATION FEE – The fee is $150.00 for each parcel created (the remaining parent
parcel/tract counts as one division during first split). A fee of 75.00 is charged for each lot line (re-description)
adjustment. All other splits exempt under PA 591 are still required to complete the application but are not
required to pay the fee and the number of exempt divisions taken do not count against the number of state
entitled divisions.

(Remaining parent parcel/tract counts as a division during first split under PA 591)
State law defines a parent tract as all contiguous parcels under the same ownership as of March 31, 1997. The
acreage used to develop the amount of divisions a property owner is entitled to is based on the total acreage of
the entire parent tract. The remaining parent tract always counts as a new parcel for application fee purposes,
but only counts against your number of state entitled divisions the first time a split occurs under PA 591.
