What is the Board of Zoning Appeals?
A board of zoning appeals is the body established to hear appeals of decisions rendered by zoning administrators, applications for situations that depart from the zoning regulations, applications for some matters that require interpretation, and applications for matters that require the exercise of discretion.
South Carolina law specifically authorizes the zoning ordinance to provide for a board of zoning appeals as a part of the administrative mechanism designed to enforce the zoning ordinance. The board of zoning appeals has the authority to make final administrative decisions for the City concerning the zoning ordinance, subject to appeal to circuit court.
