Land Subdivision

Size Standard: $45 million

Overview

NAICS code 237210 covers Land Subdivision, which includes establishments primarily engaged in servicing land and subdividing real property into lots for subsequent sale to builders. This industry involves site preparation work such as grading and installing streets and utility access.

Government agencies use this NAICS code for land development projects, base realignment activities, and subdivision of surplus federal property. The Department of Defense develops land at military installations and disposes of excess property. GSA subdivides and develops surplus federal land. HUD and state housing agencies develop land for affordable housing.

Contractors under NAICS 237210 provide site grading, street construction, utility installation (water, sewer, electric, communication), stormwater management, and related development work. Understanding local zoning, environmental requirements, and stormwater regulations is essential.

The $45 million size standard applies. Land subdivision often involves coordination of multiple trades and regulatory approvals. Experience with BRAC property development, federal environmental compliance, and large-scale site development distinguishes successful contractors. Small businesses can compete through smaller development projects or specific site work phases.
