Subdivisions - Information/Forms
The Onondaga County Health Department is required to review and stamp all filed subdivision maps regardless of the size or type of project. The focal point of our review is to help ensure the responsible subdivision of land and subsequent construction with respect to sewage disposal and water supply, whether public or private.
Instructions for Applicants:
- Contact the Bureau at 315-435-6600 as early in the planning stages as possible to discuss Health Department requirements for subdivision plan endorsement.
- Direct your licensed land surveyor to email a copy of the proposed plan for review to PHESubdivision@ongov.net prior to preparing final plans for signature.
- Schedule an appointment for your visit to the Bureau in advance to ensure that an engineer will be available to assist you.
- The Bureau will need to keep one paper copy of your subdivision plan. Please make sure that you bring enough paper copies.
- Private sewage disposal system plans must be approved by the Bureau prior to subdivision approval for all newly proposed lots less than 5 acres in size that are unable to connect to a public sewer system. Please contact the Bureau for more information regarding septic plan submittals.
