You must first determine the potential for subdividing your property. Lot yield, if any, is determined by the property's zoning classification. In many instances, parcels which were created by a previous subdivision plan may not be further subdivided regardless of the lot size. The OZA can help you determine your zoning category and give you the basics on lot yield in each category. Please contact the Bureau of Development Review (410-386-2143) for further information on subdivision. See similar questions...
