Tips on Subdividing a Property (North Carolina)

[Adam Schneider]

This is my first time subdividing a property, and would appreciate tips. The subject property is on 3.4 acres, with the main home and a mobile home. The previous owner had attempted to subdivide, but the mobile home was 4 feet too close to the main home to be allowed to subdivide the property. I'm going to remove the existing mobile home, and replace with a new MH that will be over the required line, so that I can then subdivide. Is the order to get the property surveyed, then to to the town, then go to the closing attorney (NC uses attorneys, not title companies, for closings)? Or, is there a different order or other steps to consider?
