How Many Parcels Can You Create from a Piece of Michigan Land? (with Bel Martin and Sam Kilberg)

This week, Michigan landowners gained a lot more options.

Public Act 58 of 2025 is now in effect, increasing the number of parcels a landowner can create from the first 10 acres of a parent parcel from four to 10. This simple but meaningful change opens up development strategies that weren't viable under the old law.

Key takeaways:

• The base parcel limit increases from four to 10 for the first 10 acres.
• Larger tracts can now qualify for up to 11 additional parcels, making infill development, smaller residential projects, and creative land planning all more viable.
