Montgomery County, KS

Subdividing one piece of property into two pieces of property is known as a lot split or parent tract split. For example, if you have a 10-acre parcel of land and you wish to cut out or subdivide three acres of that parcel to sell or deed to someone else.

A parent tract refers to a lot of record that existed as a whole parcel prior to the split. A parent tract may be divided once, without complying with the subdivision regulations provided the tract meets the minimum lot and yard requirements of the respective zoning district. Any further division of a parent tract shall be deemed to be a subdivision and must comply with these subdivision regulations.

The Single Land Split process is a value-added service to the citizens of Montgomery County. By actively engaging in the land division process we can assist landowners and purchasers of land on the front-end of the process to ensure no complications arise when development permits are requested. The service is provided to ensure that each newly created lot of record meets the minimum building site requirements for its zoning district, the building has proper access, and other similar provisions associated with the land development code have been addressed. A parent tract can only be split one time without having to go through subdivision regulations but must meet the land requirements for development.
