What this form is
Use this application to appeal an adverse decision by the Zoning Administrator, request an interpretation of the Zoning Map or Zoning Ordinance, or seek both types of review. The form asks for the property address, tax parcel number, the decision or interpretation at issue, and the applicant’s explanation and supporting facts. If the applicant is not the owner and lacks a binding purchase option, the property owner must complete the attached authorization.
Who needs it
An applicant seeking Board of Adjustment review of a Zoning Administrator decision or zoning interpretation uses this form; a non-owner without a binding purchase option needs the owner’s authorization.
Why it needs a notary
The attached owner authorization has a “Sworn to and subscribed before me” jurat; the property owner signing that authorization must appear before the notary.

Frequently asked questions
- How do I complete the owner authorization?
- If you are not the property owner and do not have a binding option to purchase, the owner completes the attached authorization and signs its sworn statement before a notary.
- Do I need to notarize the applicant’s signature?
- The form’s notary block is on the owner authorization. It does not show a notary block for the applicant’s signature on the application.
- Can I use an online notary for this form?
- North Carolina’s own remote electronic notarization program has not launched. Its emergency video notarization requires both signer and notary to be in North Carolina. Ask the town whether it accepts your notarized form; confirm with the city or town if unsure.
- What information should I include in the application?
- Provide the property address and tax parcel number, describe the zoning decision or interpretation requested, and explain your interpretation and the facts you are prepared to present to the Board.
