Untitled Page

The Zoning Board of Appeals is a governmental agency made up of the Chairman, four Board Members and a Secretary, each appointed by the President of the Cook County Board of Commissioners. Their primary duty is to aid the public in considering all rezoning appeals pertaining to land uses in the unincorporated areas.

Public hearings for Map Amendments and/or Special Use applications are conducted in the township in which the property is located and in such a way as to decide a just and lawful determination of issues involved.

The Zoning Board of Appeals is conscientious of cultural conditions in all communities. The Boards first concern is the interest of the public when determining zoning requests, whether it be the applicants views or that of the objectors.
