Zoning Board of Appeals (ZBA) of the Town of Bergen

The Town of Bergen Zoning Board of Appeals

The Zoning Board of Appeals (ZBA) meets the third Thursday of each month, when needed, at 7:00 PM. All meetings are held at Town Hall, 10 Hunter Street, Bergen, NY. Legal notices are published in The Batavia Daily News.

The powers of the ZBA are established by state law, which establishes the ZBA as an appellate board that can review the application of a person who applied to the Code Enforcement Officer for a building permit and had that permit denied. An aggrieved citizen can also appeal a decision of the Code Enforcement Officer.

There are two types of matters that come before the ZBA: variances and interpretations. If a person believes the Zoning Enforcement Officer wrongly applied the law, they can file an appeal for interpretation. The applicant must provide proof of their case to the ZBA to receive a variance.

Please see Article III, Chapter 475 of the Town of Bergen Zoning Law for further explanation.
