The Chatham County Subdivision Regulations defines Major Subdivisions as all subdivisions not classified as minor subdivisions, including but not limited to subdivisions of six (6) or more lots, or any size subdivision requiring any new street, the creation of public improvements, or the request for a variance.  Major subdivisions are reviewed by the Planning Board and approved by the Board of Commissioners. 

There are four steps in the review process for major subdivisions:

1. Concept Plan
2. First Plat
3. Construction Plan
4. Final Plat

Major Subdivision Information Packet

Staff recommends that applicants attend a Pre-Concept Plan meeting prior to beginning a major subdivision. Pre-Concept meetings are held only on Wednesday mornings. For more information about Major Subdivisions or schedule a meeting, contact the Chatham County Subdivision Administrator:
