The boards of adjustment are zoning boards that review applications for conditional use permits, variances from specific provisions of zoning ordinances, changes to non-conforming uses, and appeals of certain administrative decisions. This page contains submission requirements, fees, and deadlines.

Please note that all applications can be submitted using the online submission portal . This straightforward process can help you save time and effort.

All boards of adjustment require a pre-application meeting and have a four-week lead time.

If you need help with the online submission portal  or have any other questions, please contact PDS during regular business hours at 859-331-8980. We look forward to working with you.
