Hey BP - How long does it take to subdivide a property? I'm debating putting an offer on a multi family duplex in Utah that has .4 acres of land. Every other lot around it is .2 acres, and all is zoned R2. It's also not a weird dimension, so cutting it in half would fit perfectly with the other lots around it in terms of shape and size. The subdividing of the land would make this a great deal; however if the county won't work with me, it wouldn't meet my criteria and I'd prefer not to buy. My goal would be to put it under contract and work everything out while I'm still in the due diligence process, and if I can't figure it out, step back from it before I lose earnest money. Is it realistic to try and work with the county to get this subdivided while I'm under contract? Or is that something that takes 6 months or longer to do? This would be my 3rd duplex, but first time trying to do something like this and thought I would seek some help.
