Local Boards of Appeals

Local Boards of Appeals are official bodies established by local governments to review and decide on cases where property owners or other interested parties disagree with zoning or land use decisions made by city or county authorities. They serve as an impartial forum to evaluate appeals, ensuring that decisions adhere to local regulations and policies. These boards help balance community planning objectives with individual rights, providing a fair process for resolving disputes related to building permits, zoning codes, and land development. Their rulings help maintain consistency and fairness in local land use governance.
