Time frame
From the point of application being made to the municipal council hearing, depending on the complexity of the individual application, the subdivision process takes approximately three (3) months to complete. Once council has heard the application, the subdivision may be given conditional approval by the Selkirk Planning Board. The applicant has two-years to meet these conditions, and may apply in writing prior to the deadline, for a one-time, one-year extension. Once the applicant has provided written confirmation that the property has met the conditions of council, our office will provide the applicant with a Certificate of Approval. The applicant has one-year from the date-of-issue of the Certificate of Approval to take this document to Winnipeg Land Titles to have their subdivision titles registered. Once the titles are processed and the applicant and/or new owner(s) have their title in hard copy format, they may receive application for development permits from our office. Overall, the process can take anywhere from six months to years. The majority of lag-time is dependent on the applicant's ability to meet the conditions of council, and the approving authority.
