      Major Subdivision

      Definition:

       A Major Subdivision is considered to be a division of land as defined by Ohio Revised Code (ORC) Section 711.001 (B, 1), with the exception of any division qualifying as a 'Subdivision Without a Plat' (See Section 301.1 of the Licking County Subdivision Regulations). Therefore, all land divisions not covered by the minor land division process (Section 301 of the Licking County Subdivision Regulations) must follow the process and regulations for creating a Major Subdivision.
