Abstract: This paper gives applications of earlier work of the authors on the use of expansion complexes for studying conformality of finite subdivision rules. The first application is that a one-tile rotationally invariant finite subdivision rule (with bounded valence and mesh approaching 0) has an invariant partial conformal structure, and hence is conformal. The paper next considers one-tile single valence finite subdivision rules. It is shown that an expansion map for such a finite subdivision rule can be conjugated to a linear map, and that the finite subdivision rule is conformal exactly when this linear map is either a dilation or has eigenvalues that are not real. Finally, an example is given of an irreducible finite subdivision rule that has a parabolic expansion complex and a hyperbolic expansion complex.
