Board of Adjustment

Two of the board's regular members and one alternate member are appointed by the Orange County Board of Commissioners to represent residents of the town's extraterritorial jurisdiction. This is an area just outside town limits, established by an agreement between the town and county, in which the town has zoning jurisdiction. For more information, see the jurisdiction and service areas page.

Application forms and deadlines can be reviewed in the Unified Development Ordinance Administrative Manual. Please note that deadlines are for completed applications. Applicants are advised to schedule a time to discuss specific requests with the board’s staff support prior to submitting an application.

Public hearings are held on individual applications at regularly scheduled board meetings. The public is given the opportunity to present evidence and arguments for or against the application and to ask questions on the presentation of the evidence and arguments. The board evaluates applications using the Findings of Fact listed in the Unified Development Ordinance.
