A building code variance is a permit issued by the municipality that allows some sort of a violation of the building code. For example, the town may decide to allow a house to be built on a lot with 190 foot frontage when the building code requires 200 foot frontage.
The process for obtaining a variance includes a study of the request and how it would impact the neighborhood. The abutters are given notice of the request and the opportunity to file any objections. Once the variance is issued it must be recorded immediately in the land records and will benefit the property from that time on.

A fire code variance is an official exemption granted by a local authority having jurisdiction (AHJ) that allows a building or property to deviate from specific fire safety regulations outlined in the fire code. This variance is typically requested when strict adherence to the code would cause an undue hardship or when alternative safety measures can provide equivalent or greater protection. The request usually requires a detailed justification and may involve a public hearing or review process. Approval is contingent upon demonstrating that safety will not be compromised.
A variance is a deviation from the town code. Example: Homeowner 1 applied for an area variance for side yard setback for a proposed shed. Meaning the homeowner was required by code to place the shed 20' from his side property line but is asking the Zoning Board to place it 5' from the side property line.
To write a letter of variance for a building permit, start by clearly stating your request for a variance and the specific zoning regulation you wish to modify. Include your name, address, and relevant property details, followed by a detailed explanation of the reasons for the variance request, emphasizing any unique circumstances or hardships. Attach any supporting documents, such as site plans or photographs, and conclude with a polite request for consideration and an offer to provide further information if needed.
