About the Board of Adjustment

The Board of Adjustment is a fifteen-member citizen board divided into three, five-member panels appointed by the City Council to hear and take appropriate action in a quasi-judicial hearing on requests for variances and special exceptions to the Development Code regulations, appeals from decisions of the Administrative Official made in the enforcement of the Development Code, and on termination of non-conforming uses. ​

INITIATING THE BOARD OF ADJUSTMENT PROCESS

To begin the Board of Adjustment process, submit a complete set of required prescreen documents for staff review. Staff will review the prescreen materials to determine whether the proposed development requires Board of Adjustment action. Applications cannot be formally accepted until all required prescreen materials have been received and reviewed. Once instructed by staff, applicants may submit the formal application through DallasNow. Please do not submit an application through DallasNow unless you have been specifically instructed by staff to do so. For information about the required prescreen documents or to submit materials for review, please contact BOAprescreen@dallas.gov.

Need assistance before submitting your prescreen? Applicants may request a consultation with staff if they have questions about their proposed development or the Board of Adjustment process.
