Bill > H2286

This bill makes two key modifications to Massachusetts property subdivision regulations. First, it amends Section 81L of Chapter 41 to specify that property divisions creating no more than 3 new lots for development are permitted, adding a clear limitation on the number of lots that can be created through subdivision. Second, the bill changes Section 81P in two separate instances, extending the timeframe from 21 days to 30 days for certain procedural actions related to property subdivision, which likely provides more time for local government review and property owners to complete required steps in the subdivision process. These changes appear designed to provide more clarity and flexibility in how municipalities handle property subdivision requests while also setting some reasonable constraints on the scope of such divisions.
