Lorain County Conservation District

How Do I Apply?

As part of the Lot Split process within the unincorporated areas of Lorain County, Lorain County Conservation District conducts an evaluation of the site conditions of a parcel by evaluating soil types and conditions, locating any floodplain on-site, and observing any potential wetlands. ​

​

To apply for a Lot Split, all of the following items must be submitted to Lorain Soil & Water Conservation District at the time of application:​

• A completed Lot Split Application Form (below)

• Applicable fees (cash or check only made out to "Lorain County Commissioners") - based on split size.

• Paper copy of the surveyor's map of the parcel to be split.

​

Exemptions from the Lot Split review may include: 

• Parcels being split larger than 20 acres.

• Sales to an adjoining landowner with combination only.

​

Fee Schedule

For lots 10 acres or less: $20.00 per split.

For lots greater than 10 acres: $30.00 per split.

​

Fees are assessed based on the acreage of the lots being split from the original parcel. For example, if you are splitting three, 1-acre parcels from an original 30-acre parcel, the fee would be $20.00 per split, for a total of $60.00.
