Zoning Administration and Enforcement

 
As introductory comment, note that municipal zoning codes, ordinances and procedures
vary greatly from jurisdiction to jurisdiction. Some codes are complex, thorough,
complete and accurate. Others may have gaps, omissions, ambiguities and
inconsistencies. Local practice may not always conform to the strict letter of the code or
statute. The zoning regulations often are interpreted and applied by citizen boards or
commissions made up of members who may not be skilled or schooled in the fine points
of land use law theory or practice. Some communities may have large planning staffs to
assist in administering the ordinance; others may have a part-time building inspector who
is the expert on the local zoning ordinance. As a practical matter, then, knowing the law
is not necessarily enough to assure success in dealing with local zoning regulations and
enforcement.
