anyone know the approx cost to subdivide property?

$3.50/acre

You need to get a survey if you dont already have one. Then a lawyer to draw up the deeds. Maybe a title opinion. A few thousand at least.

Difficulty of getting approval to do this depends on the parish. It would be much easier in say Livingston vs EBR.

Well if it’s Jim Tatum with Tatum engineering he’ll charge at least $3000!

Wooded ? Affects cost.

Recent previous survey (by reputable surveyor) of 6 acre tract ? If so, call that guy.

Depends on multiple items like municipality location, cleared or wooded, existing sewer, adequate road frontage. You need a surveyor. I can put my email up if you want to contact our firm about getting a price.

If you are going to subdivide, wouldn't you have to provide access road with turn around and utility hook ups?

Maybe each lot will have direct access to an existing road or driveway. Good luck.

If you do it, sell it in meters and bounds not as a subdivision. Will save a lot of money and headache. All you would need is a survey splitting it up and then feed it according to the notes and bounds description.

Issue is calling it a “subdivision.” If you’re just selling a two (2) acre plot of land twice, it’s just a matter of getting a legal description, selling the land as-described, and recording the sale. Unless it’s something stupid re existing servitudes, inaccessible areas, etc., a decent surveyor should shoot it for under $2,000.00. From there, you should probably budget another $1K for paying a lawyer to draft a sale (x2) and record it.

Or, somewhere between $3.49 and $3.51.
