Subdivision of Land

Part Lot Control is a provision under the Planning Act that regulates the transfer or sale of part of a lot or block within a registered plan of subdivision. The Town uses this provision to prevent the further dividing of lots or blocks within a plan of subdivision, after that plan has been registered.

In the Township of Champlain, the United Counties of Prescott and Russell are the Approval Authority for draft plans of subdivision. Once a draft plan of subdivision is approved, the developer may be required to sign a subdivision agreement with the Township of Champlain. This subdivision agreement outlines the extent of services such as sidewalks, utilities, and roads are provided by the developer.

Additional legal fees associated with the registration of these agreements may apply. The Township of Champlain also charges fees per dwelling unit  or block or a minimum amount based on the draft plan of subdivision as part of the subdivision agreement.
