Leon County Fl
Overview
Conducts hearings on appeals and variances for the City of Tallahassee and Leon County. BOAA members review staff reports on the requested appeals and variances, conduct hearings to make findings of fact, and, with the assistance of the BOAA attorney, make conclusions of law to determine the requested appeal or variance. Appeals
Appeals include certain decisions made by City or County officials that are appealable to the BOAA. For example, an applicant for a proposed development may appeal a decision by a County official to apply a particular parking standard to the proposed development. The BOAA conducts the hearings and makes a final decision on the appeals. Variances

The BOAA conducts hearings on variances and determines whether the variance meets applicable requirements, including considerations such as whether the variance would be contrary to the public interest. For example, an applicant may request a variance on a minimum setback requirement. The BOAA is supported by staff from the Leon County Department of Development Support and Environmental Management and the City of Tallahassee\'s Growth Management Department.
