Go to your local planning department and discuss the potential for subdivision. They will tell you if it can be subdivided. Most likely the will not tell you how many lots you will get out of a subdivision but hat it has potential. You will then want to speak with an independent planner/engineer/architect to draft a preliminary sketch of the property with the subdivided lots and submit for approval from the planning board. They will then approve you and you will have to get approved by your Health Department, DEC (if it has environmental issues) and other agencies etc. The costs could be high depending on the nature of the subdivision. If you own the property for a long time it could be worth it if you bought it at the right price. I have seen people purchase land 5 yrs ago for 300-400k subdivide it and sell it to one builder for 3,000,000 with all the approvals for the subdivision. You can speak to an expediter, they usually have a good network and get the ball rolling for you.

It depends on what state, what county and what local municipality.
The land currently is zoned "something". If you are going to meet the zoning requirements for lot size, usage, etc. it will be less of a problem and you won't need variances for that.
You will have to file a sub-division plan and go before your local board(s) for approval. You need an attorney before you start, and they will tell you all the details for your particular situation.

First you ought to study to look if there are any deed regulations prohibiting subdivision. Then you are going to ought to uncover out the zoning of the land in query to look if there are any relevant regulations (dimension of parcel, street frontage, and so on). Then you are going to most likely ought to have the land surveyed and pinned to designate the land parcel and get a attorney to write down up separate deeds for every parcel to be recorded on the county court docket condo.

First you need to find out if it is zoned for subdividing...
If not you will have to request a zoning change...
From what I have heard, be prepared to spend $$$$$ & you may be in for a fight.....Especially if your neighbors do not agree to it....
