Humber/Ontario Real Estate Course 1 Exam Practice

If a Southern Ontario landowner wants to split a parcel into several plots, what might they need to do?

1. Apply to the Ministry of Municipal Affairs and Housing.

2. Apply for a subdivision approval.

3. First apply to a local adjustment or land division committee.

4. Seek permission from the municipal council.

5. Submit a regional government application.

6. Document it in the provincial land register.

The correct answer is: First apply to a local adjustment or land division committee.

One potential option, A Apply to the Ministry of Municipal Affairs and Housing, is incorrect because it only pertains to the provincial level and does not involve the local land division committee. Option B: Apply for a subdivision approval is also incorrect because it does not specify what type of approval the landowner would need or which agency or organization they should apply to. Similarly, option D: Seek permission from the municipal council does not specify which agency or organization the landowner should apply to and may not be required in all cases. Option E: Submit a regional government application is also incorrect because it only involves regional government, not the local land division committee. F: Document it in the provincial land register is incorrect because it only refers to documentation and not the actual process of splitting a parcel of land into multiple plots. Therefore, option C: First apply to a local adjustment or land division committee is the correct answer as it specifies the necessary agency and their role in the process.
