SD 1811 Massachusetts Senate · 193rd Legislature (2023-2024)

An Act relative to planning boards and subdivision control laws

This bill amends Massachusetts laws governing planning boards and subdivision control to regulate how land is divided and developed. It primarily affects municipalities, regional governments, developers, and homeowners by changing requirements for creating new lots and securing public infrastructure. The legislation allows the creation of up to three new lots per division, increases a specific time limit from twenty-one to thirty days, and mandates that developers secure roadways and municipal services through bonds, deposits, or covenants that cover inflation and labor costs. Additionally, it requires developers to inform future property owners about existing easements and restrictions before transferring land titles.
