Bill > HB4081

This bill amends the Michigan Land Division Act to modify the rules for land parceling and division, primarily by expanding the number of parcels that can be created from a parent tract of land. Specifically, the bill changes the maximum number of parcels that can be created from the first 10 acres of land from 4 to 10 parcels after one year from the bill's effective date. The bill introduces a new provision that allows counties and municipalities to authorize land divisions beyond the standard limits through local ordinances, giving local governments more flexibility in land use planning. Under the new law, landowners can create more parcels from their property if their local government approves, with the caveat that the additional divisions must meet specific standards set by the local jurisdiction. The bill also maintains existing provisions about parcel creation, such as allowing additional parcels for larger land tracts and maintaining restrictions on further divisions after initial splits. The overall intent appears to be providing more local control and flexibility in land division while maintaining some standardized guidelines to prevent excessive fragmentation of land.
