If you are out in an unincorporated area, all three lots will require metes and bounds legal descriptions which, normally, a surveyor will have to write. Additionally, an egress and ingress easement may need to be described, as well. All of the above will have to be recorded in the county where you live. As said, previously, new corner markers need to be placed, too.

Also, rural areas subject to septic tank systems might require a minimum lot size depending on the perc test of the soil in the area.
