| The Moore County Board of Commissioners has adopted a Subdivision Ordinance which regulates the division of property for the purpose of sell and/or development. The requirements in the ordinance are designed to ensure the orderly growth and development of the county. |
Types of Subdivisions
|
| Level 1 Minor Subdivision |
|
A subdivision that (1) consists of 4 or less lots fronting on an existing, approved public road, (2) does not require any new public or private road to be constructed or dedicated nor easements for access to interior property, (3) does not require the extension of a public water or sewer line other than laterals to serve individual lots, (4) does not necessitate the installation of drainage improvements that would require easements through property not being subdivided, and (5) does not require a variance from any requirement of this Ordinance. Subdivisions that consist of 4 or less lots fronting on an existing private road subject to private road maintenance standards through an established Owners’ Association shall be considered a Level 1 Minor Subdivision.

| |
| Level 2 Minor |
|
A subdivision that consists of 4 or less lots fronting on a newly created private road. The private road shall meet the right-of-way requirement, design and construction standards of NCDOT, with the exception of pavement, from the subdivision to a State-maintained road. These subdivisions must be reviewed by the Subdivision Review Board before they can be approved.
|
| |
| Family Subdivision |
| A subdivision in which lots are conveyed to members of the lineal family or siblings. |
| |
| Major Subdivision |
|
The division of a lot, tract or parcel of land into five or more lots, tracts, parcels or other divisions of land at initial time of division or accumulative over a period of three (3) years. The parent lot, tract or parcel of land counts as one of the subdivided lots, tracts or other subdivisions of land for the purpose of determining whether the application for approval is to be treated as a major or minor subdivision. Major subdivisions must be approved by the Subdivision Review Board.
|
| |
| Neighborhood Conservation Major Subdivision |
|
A subdivision whose purpose is to preserve open space in the form of agricultural and forestry lands, natural and cultural features, and rural community character that might be lost through conventional development approaches. To accomplish this goal, greater flexibility and creativity in the design of such developments is encouraged and allowed.
