Mercer County Subdivision and Land Development Ordinance

The Mercer County Subdivision & Land Development Ordinance was passed by the County Commissioners on February 23, 2006.  This new ordinance replaces the previous SALDO in Mercer County.  This current ordinance will take effect on April 1, 2006.


Land Development Review Process:

  • For minor land developments in all communities, the applicant shall submit a copy of all information pertaining to the application for a local building permit and all other required local municipality permits.
  • Major land developments in zoned municipalities will be treated as a minor land development.  All local municipal approvals must be granted, and evidence presented, before a minor land development can be approved.
  • For major land developments in unzoned municipalities, the applicant shall submit all information required in the ordinance, specifically Sections 506, 601, & 602.

Subdivision Review Process:

  • For a plan located in a municipality that has their own Subdivision & Land Development Ordinance and that municipality’s planner is in charge of the technical review, the subdivision plan shall be submitted to that municipality.  The municipality will then forward the subdivision to the County for review.
  • For a plan located in a municipality that has their own Subdivision & Land Development Ordinance and MCRPC’s planner is in charge of the technical review, the subdivision plan shall be submitted to MCRPC.  MCRPC will forward their findings and review comments, as well as the plan, to the municipality for their decision.
  • For a plan located in a municipality that is under the Mercer County Subdivision & Land Development Ordinance, the subdivision plan shall be submitted to MCRPC.  MCRPC will forward the plan to the municipality for their comments through the Municipal Subdivision Review form, and the approval will come from MCRPC.
