Land Use Appeals

Land use appeals are formal requests to challenge decisions made by local governments regarding the use of property. When a developer applies for permits or zoning changes, the decision can sometimes be contested by neighbors or community members who believe it could negatively impact their area. An appeal allows these individuals or groups to request a review of the decision, seeking a different outcome. This process can involve hearings and legal arguments, ultimately aiming to ensure that land use aligns with community plans, regulations, and the public interest.
