How to obtain a waiver of Subdivision Approval pursuant to the Special Provisions Act?

Where a parcel of land is taken from a larger portion of land, the presumption is that the land has been subdivided and subdivision approval pursuant to the Local Improvements Act is required from the requisite  Municipal Corporation. 

However, pursuant to Section 5 of the Registration of Titles Cadastral Mapping and Tenure Clarification (Special Provisions) Act a landowner can obtain a subdivision waiver once certain criteria has been met. These include:

• Prima facie ownership of the property evident by the Land Owner furnishing an Indenture, Receipts, Probated Will, Letters of Administration, Deed of Gift, Certificate of Title, Adjudication Certification and Certificate of Compliance.

• Informal subdivision has been in existence for at least 7 years

• Established access to the property
