Board of Appeals

Mission of the BOA

The Board of Appeals is available for building requests that do not comply with the Town's Setback Codes but would create an undue hardship on the applicant if they were to abide by those codes. The BOA is here to hear why compliance would be a hardship and to determine if there are alternate solutions which would be in keeping with the harmony of the town.

Notice!

Notice: Openings available on the Board of Appeals. We have 2 alternate positions OPEN on the Board. If you would like the opportunity to be involved in your community, the Board of Appeals is an easy way to get started! The Board meets only when there is no other way to meet the town's code and to finish the project except to issue a variance to the code. So sometimes we meet once or twice a year, and sometimes we never meet. The time commitment is usually no more than an hour per meeting. You will be paid $70.72 (2025 budget) per meeting. If this sounds like something you would like to do, please contact Secretary@townofnilesny.gov or the town supervisor Dave Denman at supervisor@townofnilesny.gov
