land subdivision
Splitting real estate
Land subdivision is the process of dividing a parcel of land into smaller lots, typically for development or sale.
Real estate developers subdivide large tracts into residential lots; farmers may subdivide acreage among heirs.
The term also refers to the resulting divided area itself: They bought a house in a new subdivision outside town.
Local governments regulate subdivisions through zoning and planning requirements.
