HB 5529 Michigan House · 2025-2026 Regular Session

Land use: land division; parcel and lot size requirements; limit. Amends secs. 109, 148 & 186 of 1967 PA 288 (MCL 560.109 et seq.).

HB 5529 modifies Michigan's Land Division Act to set clearer standards for subdividing land. It requires that new residential parcels (with public water/sewer) must be at least 1,500 square feet, limits parcel depth to four times its width (with exceptions for topography), and mandates tax verification for divisions. The bill also adds disclosure requirements for property sales, including whether the right to further divide the land is transferred. These changes directly affect property owners seeking to subdivide land, developers, and local municipalities reviewing subdivision applications.
