A subdivision is created when land is divided into four or more lots, tracts, or parcels, or under other certain circumstances. The subdivision plat review process includes both preliminary and final plat reviews to ensure compliance with the City's Development Code.

A pre-submittal meeting is required prior to the official submittal of the preliminary plat.

Permitting (with exception for the Floodplain Use Permit) is now handled through the City's CitizenServe platform. CitizenServe is a third party service that allows members of the public to apply for, track, and research applications within Sierra Vista online. Users are required to register for an account before using CitizenServe. Land Development Permits, such as those listed on this page, can be applied for under the "Submit a planning application" page on CitizenServe.

 If you have an existing Sierra Vista Business License, you already have a CitizenServe account. On the login screen, you may use the email address associated with your Business License as the login username and select the "FORGOT YOUR PASSWORD" button.
