Technical Review of Subdivision (TEC)

A Technical Review of Subdivision (TEC) application is required to be submitted following approval of all Draft Plan of Subdivision applications. TEC applications consists of a detailed engineering review of each phase of development within a draft plan of subdivision and are administered by the City’s Engineering Department.

For more information about Draft Plan of Subdivision applications, please visit the Official Plan Amendment, Zoning By-law Amendment and/or Draft Plan of Subdivision (PLAN) page.

Application Submission

Following approval of the Draft Plan of Subdivision, City’s Engineering staff will advise the applicant if a TEC submission is required. The applicant will then email a completed Application Form to dsc@markham.ca for a Development Technician to open an ePLAN file.

Once the applicant has completed their Applicant Upload task on ePLAN a Development Technician will conduct a preliminary ‘Prescreen Review’ to ensure that required plans and documents have been uploaded. The Development Technician will also check to make sure that all submitted plans and documents meet our ePLAN Submission Standards.

Application fees will also be determined and confirmed at this stage.

Note: A submission does not become an application with a review timeline until it has passed our Prescreen Review Process and application fees have been paid.

For more information on how to submit an application, please refer to the TEC ePLAN Quick Reference Guide.

For our application fees, please refer to our Fee By-law.
