Meetings of the Zoning Board of Appeals are scheduled for the
third Tuesday of each month.
Completed applications with seven copies of all necessary maps/plans
are filed with the Town Clerk. Date of receipt of application is stamped
by the Town Clerk. (There is a filing fee.)
After the decisions are stamped by the Town Clerk, there is
an appeal period of 20 days from that date. If at the close of the
appeal period, no appeals have been made, Town Clerk, upon request,
will certify the decisions for recording at the Registry of Deeds,
Dedham, Massachusetts. This is the responsibility of the applicant
and all decisions are not valid until registered in Dedham.
Procedure for the Zoning Board of Appeals is mandated by MGL
c. 40A and can be, as noted above, a lengthy procedure.
