To begin developing land for a site or subdivision, you must go through the site intake process for us to review your project
We are excited to announce that starting October 20, 2025, all Land Development Applications - including Site Development, Subdivision Development, and Certified Parcels - will be submitted and tracked through the HillsGovHub portal.
As we transition these applications to the new module, appointments to submit land development records via the current method will end at noon on October 15, 2025. After this time, no further submittal appointments will be available.
If you apply close to the October 15 deadline, you will receive an expedited invoice. All associated fees must be paid by 5 PM on October 15, 2025.
If fees are not paid by that time, you will need to restart the application process in HillsGovHub beginning October 20,2025.
Fees
We will determine fees during the pre-submittal conference and/or during the intake review.
