The bill amends the Land Division Act of 1967, specifically section 108, to modify the regulations surrounding the division of land parcels in Michigan. Notably, it increases the maximum number of parcels that can be created from a parent parcel or tract. The bill allows for a total of 6 parcels for the first 10 acres, up from the previous limit of 4, and introduces additional provisions for larger tracts of land. It also specifies that parcels of 40 acres or more created by division will not count towards the total number of parcels permitted, provided they are accessible.

Furthermore, the bill introduces new provisions that allow for the partitioning or splitting of parcels without being subject to platting requirements, provided certain conditions are met, such as a minimum elapsed time since the parcel was recorded and limits on the number of resulting parcels. It also establishes that a parcel may be split into a greater number of parcels if authorized by local ordinances. The amendments are set to take effect on July 1, 2026.
