You probably need a Zoning Permit. This process begins with the application for a Permit, which is generally met with a Refusal. The Refusal must then be appealed to the Zoning Board of Adjustment and a hearing is scheduled. As a rule, the application will need to be presented to the appropriate civic board prior to the ZBA hearing.

The zoning process is complicated and frustrating and the zoning code is not user-friendly. Your likelihood of success is increased when you are represented by an experienced practitioner with familiarity with the Code and knowledge of the procedures.

As with many areas of practice, the cost of retaining an zoning attorney is often economically beneficial because time is saved and costs are avoided. So call now and talk to a zoning attorney about your proposed application.
