A subdivision survey in the British Virgin Islands (BVI) is a specialized survey conducted to divide a larger parcel of land into smaller, legally recognized plots. This process is essential when a property owner wishes to sell, lease, or develop individual portions of a larger landholding. A licensed land surveyor performs the subdivision survey by mapping out the new parcels’ boundaries, marking them with boundary markers, and recording each new parcel’s dimensions and layout in detail. This survey must adhere to local land division regulations, which are governed by the BVI government to ensure orderly and compliant land development.
The final results of a subdivision survey are submitted to the BVI’s Land Registry for official recognition, creating separate legal titles for each newly defined plot. These surveys are essential in real estate development and for landowners who want to maximize the value of their property by selling or developing portions individually. By conducting a subdivision survey, landowners not only create distinct, marketable plots but also ensure that each parcel has clear, legally defined boundaries, minimizing future disputes and making the land easier to manage and transfer.
