Creating a Buildable Lot

If you are creating a new buildable lot, you'll want to be sure you are going to meet all local regulations before the exact lot split location can be determined.

Check Local Zoning Requirements

Check with your township zoning to determine minimum acreage, road frontage, and width-to-depth ratio requirements. There may also be setback requirements to consider when determining the location of structures. This information is usually available online.

Soil Evaluation

You'll need to work with the health department and a soil scientist to determine an acceptable septic system location. The Knox County Regional Planning Office maintains a list of soil scientists.

Driveway Location

You will need an approved driveway location. Contact the proper authority for your road classification: Township Official, County Engineer's Office, or State Highway Garage.

Lot Split Survey

Have a licensed professional surveyor complete a lot split survey.

All corners will be monumented (typically by a 5/8" rebar with plastic identification cap). Depending on the location and size of your specific parcel, various entities will need to review and approve your lot split. The approved parcel description can then be attached to a deed by your attorney or title company for recording at the county recorder's office.
