Board of Zoning Appeals
The Board of Zoning Appeals is a 7-member group with three alternate members appointed by the Judge of the Circuit Court. The primary purposes of the Board are to interpret the ordinance for appeals and to grant variances from the application of specific requirements of the zoning ordinance. The Board of Zoning Appeals meets the first Tuesday of each month in the Smyth County Board Room at 6:00 PM if an application for variance and appeal has been submitted. If no applications are received within the calendar year, the Board will meet on the first Tuesday of January. If the first Tuesday falls on a holiday, the Board will meet on the second Tuesday. November meetings may be rescheduled due to Election Day. Contact the Zoning Administrator for filing deadlines.
