Zoning Boards
Zoning boards are local government panels that review and make decisions on land use and development issues. They ensure that building projects and land uses comply with zoning laws, which dictate how properties can be used in specific areas—like residential, commercial, or industrial. When someone wants to change how they use their property or seeks exceptions to zoning rules, they can appeal to the zoning board. The board considers public input and factors like community impact before granting or denying requests to ensure balanced and appropriate development in the area.
