Clearer zoning appeal rules for homeowners

Tennessee adds property rights and constitutional rights to topics covered by county and city zoning rules. Local lawmakers must set zoning appeal board rules requiring public records, elected board officers, and relevant proof from parties. County boards may add supplemental rules, while city boards must; rules may also address reasons, facts, and evidence supporting decisions. Officials granting or denying building permits must give recipients written notice of their right to appeal to the zoning board. Zoning boards must also tell parties in writing about their right to seek court review under Tennessee’s judicial review law.
