White Paper

The Land Subdivision Process in Ohio

 
“In Ohio, the platting and subdivision process is generally governed by Chapter 711 of the Ohio Revised Code. The forty sections of that Revised Code Chapter set forth in considerable detail the actual subdivision process applicable to municipal corporations (cities and villages), counties and townships -- i.e., unincorporated areas.

Nevertheless, municipal corporations in Ohio, which have exercised the Ohio Constitution’s home rule form of government1, may adopt platting and subdivision procedures and other regulations contrary to the procedures in R.C. Chapter 711. Many home rule communities have adopted subdivision regulations which depart from R.C. Chapter 711. Generally, until there is further clarification by the Supreme Court, the subdivision processes and regulations of a Home Rule Municipality may differ substantially from state law. Therefore, it would behoove any developer/subdivider to review local municipal codes and subdivision regulations.”
