A lot is a legally defined parcel of land that can be owned, developed, and transferred separately from adjacent properties. Lots are created through subdivision processes that divide larger land areas and register individual parcels with precise boundaries in the provincial land titles system. Each lot has a legal description identifying its exact location. Zoning bylaws specify what can be built on lots in different areas, including building types, sizes, and setbacks from lot lines. Understanding lot dimensions and regulations matters for anyone planning construction, as building permits require compliance with both zoning and lot-specific requirements.
