HB 4081 Michigan House · 2025-2026 Regular Session

Land use: land division; number of parcels resulting from division; authorize counties and municipalities to increase. Amends sec. 108 of 1967 PA 288 (MCL 560.108).

HB 4081 allows counties and municipalities in Michigan to set higher limits than the current state cap on the number of separate land parcels created when dividing a single property. It amends state law (MCL 560.108) that previously limited most land divisions to 12 parcels. The bill directly affects local governments, developers, and property owners by giving communities more flexibility to manage land use and development density. This change removes the state-imposed cap, enabling local authorities to establish their own parcel limits based on community needs.
