What is the minimum number of lots required for a subdivision by statute?

1 lot
2 lots
3 lots
4 lots

The correct answer is: 2 lots

In Idaho, the statutory definition of a subdivision is triggered when there are two or more lots created for sale, lease, or transfer. This means that for a parcel of land to be classified legally as a subdivision, it must consist of at least two distinct lots. By establishing a minimum of two lots, the law ensures that any development or division of land intended for multiple ownership or different uses falls under subdivision regulations, which include requirements for planning, infrastructure, and services. This provision helps maintain order in urban planning and ensures that necessary community services can accommodate future residents or businesses. Choosing one lot would not meet the criteria for subdivision since it does not involve division or multiple ownership. Going above two lots, while also relevant, does not change the minimum threshold established by statute, which clearly defines that at least two lots are necessary for a subdivision designation.
