H 2069 Massachusetts House · 193rd Legislature (2023-2024)

An Act relative to property subdivision

This bill modifies Massachusetts property subdivision laws to limit new lot creation and extend review timeframes. It directly affects landowners and developers by adding a restriction that prevents creating more than three new lots in a single division. Additionally, the bill changes the deadline for certain municipal review processes from twenty-one days to thirty days. These changes aim to regulate how properties are divided and to provide local governments with more time to evaluate subdivision applications.
