Within the City boundaries, the process of dividing a single parcel of land into two or more parcels, or the amendment of a parcel boundary through lot line adjustments requires endorsement by the City of Lacombe prior to registering the changes/parcels at Land Titles Office.

Open Houses
An Open House gives residents and property owners the opportunity to learn about a proposed development and to provide their feedback on the project.

How to Create an Outline Plan
