Other Services

Committee of Adjustment

Municipal zoning regulations control how a house may be built on a given property. When a desired design exceeds permitted density or lot coverage, or varies from required setbacks, an application to the Committee of Adjustment may be necessary. This service, typically associated with the permit phase, is provided when variances are required to allow your proposed design to proceed.
