House Moving Board

How to be Placed on the Board's Agenda

Property owners interested in asking the board for a variance must submit an application to do so. Applications can be obtained in the Department of Planning and Development. Each application should be accompanied by a $185 fee. This fee covers legal publishing and mailings to the local neighborhood to notify the public of the request for a variance.
