Subdivision Information


A subdivision is required when a piece of land is divided into two or more titles. Examples of this might include instances where a commercial land owner wishes to split their lot in half to develop another business or when a developer wishes to create a multi-lot subdivision for the construction of several homes.

In order to allow for the subdivision to occur there are several administrative and legal changes that must take place, therefore, a process is in place to ensure that these changes are accurately implemented.

Subdivision Framework

In the City of St. Albert, subdivision approving authority has been delegated by City Council to the Director of Planning and Development by the enactment of Bylaw 19/95, pursuant to Sections 623(1) of the Municipal Government Act.

Sections 652 to 657 of the Municipal Government Act describe the extent of the rights and responsibilities of both the subdivision approving authority and the applicant for subdivision. Further information regarding this aspect of subdivision is detailed in Sections 4 to 8 of the Subdivision and Development Regulation.
