The Subdivision Map Act is an essential to the regulation of land use by cities and counties throughout California. The Map Act sits at the critical intersection between community land use planning and private real estate development, with subdivision maps serving both to ensure the proper design and improvement and to authorize the sale, lease, and financing of property. The Act has been frequently amended by the Legislature over the past decade, making careful attention to the Act a necessity. The Subdivision Map Act of today:
 
  • controls the design of improvements
  • regulates the division of real property
  • protects public and private property interests
  • encourages and facilitates orderly community development
  • coordinates planning with community patterns established by local authorities
  • ensures proper improvements are constructed so that development does not overburden taxpayers
  • protects public health and safety
