COMPLIANCE AND GOVERNMENTAL CONSULTATION
Subdividers and their professional consultants must be thoroughly familiar with the state laws and also with the
subdivision control ordinance in the particular community. Numerous differences exist in the various local
subdivision ordinances because of a great diversity in types of communities and conditions throughout the state.
To be fully aware of the current requirements of the Commissioner, a subdivider should consult with DRE
during the planning stage of a subdivision.
The federal government plays an important role in the financing of home building through its mortgage
insurance program. If a developer wants a subdivision offering to include government insured or guaranteed
financing, timely consultations may be necessary with the Federal Housing Administration, the Veterans
Administration and any other appropriate agencies.
