The Fauquier County Board of Zoning Appeals, as established by the Fauquier County Board of Supervisors, is charged with hearing all variance applications, deciding applications for interpretation of zoning district maps where there is uncertainty as to district boundary location, and deciding appeals of Zoning Administrator determinations, with the authority to uphold or overturn such decisions.

Authority

The Board of Zoning Appeals is established pursuant to Article 14, Part 2 of the Fauquier County Zoning Ordinance.

Term

Members are appointed by the Circuit Court for a term of five years.

Meetings

The Board of Zoning Appeals meets monthly.  For details on the next meeting, call (540) 422-8210 or subscribe to the Board of Zoning Appeals e-Notification service.
