Board of Adjustment

The Board of Adjustment (BOA) consists of five members and is a quasi-judicial board. It is not a legislative body; thus, it has no authority to amend ordinances, create new laws, nor grant use variances.

The board conducts hearings and makes determinations on requests for variances from and special exceptions to the Town of Little Elm Zoning Ordinance, as specified in the ordinance. Historically, the board has made rulings on substandard buildings and amortization cases, although recent state law changes may require revisions to procedure and venue.

The board also has the authority to hear and decide appeals where it is alleged that there is an error in an order, requirement, decision, or determination made by any administrative official of the town in the enforcement of the Zoning Ordinance.

Important to note, the State District Court is the court for appeals resulting from a decision rendered by the BOA. The appeal must be filed within ten days of the board’s decision. State law prohibits the Town Council from hearing any appeal.
