About

The Town of Lisbon adopted a zoning code and is required to appoint a zoning board of appeals. The primary role is to review and decided cases where there is an alleged error in a zoning decision or where a relaxation of the ordinance is sought. Click HERE for more information in the Town’s Zoning Code, Section 34.

Zoning boards may be authorized to participate in two types of decision-making:

• Administrative Appeal – a legally contested order or decision of the zoning official (usually associated with a contested map or text interpretation).
• Variance – a relaxation of a dimensional or use standard specified in the zoning ordinance.
