Severances in Oakville, Burlington and Hamilton

Separating one piece of land into two or more, from the severance sketch to the reference plan.

A land severance (separating one piece of land into 2 or more pieces) starts with a severance (or separation) sketch. This sketch, while not a formal plan of survey, is a legal document based on field measurements, and is prepared to illustrate the intent of the land severance.

Once the proposed severance is accepted, a reference plan is prepared and deposited on title at a Land Registry Office.
