There are questions that you need to ask yourself before you start the process of subdivision. The most important of these questions are given below:

What Is Real Estate Subdividing

The term “real estate subdivision” refers to the process of dividing or parcelling the land into several lots. When an owner’s land is subdivided into several lots, it means that it has been divided into several different parcels of land. This process can involve the simple division of land into smaller pieces or the creation of an entirely new property.

When it comes to the process of dividing land, there are several approaches by which one can divide his or her land. What matters is that the land owned by you has been divided into separate parcels of land, which will be sold to individuals and groups.

In California, it is required by law to have a subdivision process, in order to have legal access to the land. This process involves parcelling and dividing land, which is a complex and lengthy process.

What Are Parcel and Tract Maps in California

In California, the process of dividing a piece of land starting from one large piece to several smaller pieces is known as subdivision. This is the process that each and every landowner should follow in order to sell their land to others. There are typically two types of subdivisions, parcel maps and tract maps.

Parcel maps are used by local government agencies to determine a property’s boundaries and the size of the land. The parcel map can be used by the local government to determine how the land can be divided and sold to the people. On the other hand, a tract map refers to the official map that shows the area that is being sold by an area developer.

What Are the Types of Ownership in Residential Subdivisions

In California, there are typically two types of ownership in the subdivision: the fee simple ownership and divided ownership.

A fee simple ownership refers to the ownership of land, in which the owner has full rights of the land, including the rights of transfer, sale, and development. In this situation, the owner has full control over the land and the rights over it. Divided ownership, on the other hand, refers to a situation in which the land is owned by several persons, in which each person owns a certain part of it. These individuals share the rights of possession and development of the land.
