Administrative Lot Splits & Minor Subdivisions in Seminole County, FL
Turn one parcel into two to four buildable lots without a public road dedication. We handle the Seminole County side, from Sanford to Casselberry, with the Seminole County Planning & Development Division and the city offices where the parcel sits inside city limits.
What matters for this in Seminole County
Inside the urban area, minor splits are reviewed administratively when each lot meets the district minimums and fronts a road. Inside the Rural Boundary, the future land use density usually decides the answer before the split application does.
East of the Econlockhatchee River, Seminole's voter-approved Rural Boundary keeps land in Rural-3, Rural-5 and Rural-10 future land use: one home per 3, 5 or 10 acres no matter how the zoning reads. The Wekiva River Protection Area adds its own limits on the west side.

100% fee credit toward construction
When you build your home, ADU or garage with Brightview Homes, every dollar you paid Brightview for due diligence, entitlements and demolition coordination is credited back against your construction agreement. Pre-construction fees are credited in full against the construction contract price at signing.
- Applies to full-cycle building agreements (a home on your lot or custom home, a turnkey ADU, or a custom detached multi-car garage or workshop) with a contract value of $100,000 or more.
- Fees are earned as each filing, audit or field visit is completed and are not refundable. The credit is applied against the final construction draw or the pre-construction contract balance, never paid out in cash.
- Credits stay valid for 12 months from delivery of the completed work or permit closeout.
The credit covers Brightview's fees. Surveyor, engineer, attorney and government fees are paid directly to those providers and are not part of the credit.
