House Fiscal Agency Analysis

Senate Bill 480 would amend the Land Division Act to increase the maximum number of parcels that the first ten acres of a parcel (a continuous area or acreage of land) or a tract (a group of parcels under the same ownership that share a common property line) can be divided into. It would also allow a municipality to authorize the division of a parcel or tract without being subject to the act’s limitations on the number of resulting parcels or tracts. The bill would go into effect March 1, 2025.
