Talk to your municipal corporation’s planning department first.
Hire a commissioned land surveyor to prepare the plans.
Hand in the application and pay the municipal corporation and NWA fees.
It goes to NEPA, the Fire Brigade, the NWA and others for comment.
You get the conditions of approval. Sign and return them, or ask for a review.
Once approved, register the plans at the National Land Agency to get separate titles. More than 6 lots must also be registered with the Real Estate Board.
You can appeal a refusal within 28 days.

Depends on the parish and number of lots.

Ask your municipal corporation.
