Board of Adjustment

The Board of Adjustment conducts public hearings and renders rulings on variances from the Town’s zoning regulations, appeals to zoning decisions made by Development Services staff, and appeals of determinations made by the Environmental Appeal Committee.

The board has quasi-judicial powers and acts separately from the Town Council, so all board decisions are final. Any appeals go directly to the 10th District Superior Court.

The Board of Adjustment is an eight-member citizen board. Four members and two alternates live inside the Town limits, and one member and one alternate live within the Town’s extraterritorial jurisdiction (ETJ).

Members are appointed on a rotating schedule to three-year terms. In-town members are appointed by the Town Council. ETJ members are appointed by the Wake County Board of Commissioners with a recommendation by the Town Council. If a seat is vacated, a new member is appointed mid-year to fill the remainder of the term.
