The Indiana County Board of Commissioners adopted the Indiana County Subdivision and Land Development Ordinance (No. 2023-0412) on April 12, 2023.

This ordinance will replace the Indiana County Subdivision

Ordinance, last amended in 1991.  The adopted

Ordinance is available above, and will be available in hard

copy form at the County Law Library, the Indiana County Office

of Planning & Development, the office of the Indiana County

Commissioners, and all public libraries throughout the County.

Projects requiring Land Development approval will be required

to receive such approval prior to being issued any building

occupancy permits from that date forward.

Printed copies are available at the Indiana County Office of

Planning & Development at a cost of $5.00.

Enforcement of this ordinance will begin on August 10, 2023.

The following is how Indiana County defines subdivision applications.

Single Lot Subdivision

A Single-Lot Subdivision can be a building or non-building subdivision.

A building subdivision consists of the first and second building lots subdivided from an original tract of land as described in the deed of record on November 7, 1962 (effective date of the subdivision regulations).

Proposed lot(s) must have direct frontage on an existing public street or approved private drive street, have access to an existing public sewer system or have approval to use an on-lot septic system, and shall not include proposals for any public improvements, (new road construction, extensions or public water or sewer services, etc.).

A non-building subdivision is a subdivision of land proposed to be conveyed as an addition to an adjacent building lot or to be established as an independent lot upon which no sewage disposal system may be placed.

Minor Subdivision

A Minor-Lot Subdivision is a subdivision that contains three to ten lots all of which have direct and sufficient frontage on an existing public street, and no new construction or extension of public sewer and/or water lines are required to serve any or all of the lots.

Major Subdivision

A Major-Lot Subdivision is a subdivision that contains more than

ten lots.
