23721 | Land Subdivision This industry comprises establishments primarily engaged in servicing raw land and subdividing real property into lots, for subsequent sale to builders. Land subdivision precedes building activity. The building sites created by land subdivision may be residential lots, commercial tracts or industrial parks.
Servicing of raw land entails some physical improvements, such as land clearing or excavation work for the installation of roads and utility lines. While the extent of work varies from project to project, the establishments classified in this industry are primarily engaged in subdivision activity that includes physical improvement of the land. Establishments that perform only the legal subdivision of land are not included in this industry.

*legal subdivision of land without land preparation, classified elsewhere in the classification based on the primary activity of the establishment; *constructing buildings, for sale, on lots they subdivide (236, Construction of Buildings); *installing utilities on a subcontract basis for land subdividers (2371, Utility System Construction); *installing roads on a subcontract basis for land subdividers (23731, Highway, Street and Bridge Construction); *preparing land owned by others for building construction (23891, Site Preparation Contractors); *constructing buildings, for rent or own use, on lots they subdivide (5311, Lessors of Real Estate); and *operating cemeteries and crematoria (81222, Cemeteries and Crematoria). |
