Land Use Board of Appeals

The Land Use Board of Appeals (LUBA) is an administrative body that reviews decisions made by local governments regarding land use and zoning. When individuals or organizations disagree with a local planning decision, they can appeal to LUBA. The board evaluates whether the local decision followed the law and proper procedures. LUBA’s role is to ensure that land use decisions are fair, consistent, and in compliance with state laws, providing oversight and helping to resolve disputes related to land development and use.
