Pomfret Connecticut : Zoning Board of Appeals

The purpose of the Zoning Board of Appeals is to provide elasticity in the application of the zoning regulations. Under certain conditions, the Zoning Board of Appeals may grant variances so that the regulations do not operate in an arbitrary or confiscatory manner. The variance power, however, must be sparingly exercised. Variances can be granted only where a situation falls fully within the conditions specified in state statute.

Please Note:
**The State fee for all land use applications has gone from $30 to $60 per
application. This is effective October 1, 2009, per Public Act 09-03 of
the June Special Session of the CT General Assembly.
