Appeals Board

A body empowered with the ability to overturn decisions of the local government permitting agency and code enforcement agency based on appeal by the aggrieved petitioner.
Example: When Ambler was turned down on her rezoning request, she petitioned the zoning appeals board, which unfortunately agreed with the zoning board and denied her request.
Example: When a property owner was dissatisfied with the Tax Assessment, he scheduled a hearing before the appeals board. The panel that heard his appeal consisted of three retired real estate brokers.
