Land Use Board of Appeals (LUBA)

The Land Use Board of Appeals (LUBA) is an independent agency in Oregon that hears disputes related to land use decisions made by local governments. When a person or organization disagrees with a decision about zoning, planning, or development, they can appeal to LUBA. The board reviews the case to ensure the local decision aligns with state land use laws. LUBA's role is to provide a fair process for resolving these issues, ensuring that land use regulations are consistently applied and protecting the rights of property owners and the public.
