Zoning Board of Appeals
Mission
The Zoning Board of Appeals is a governmental agency with a Board made up of seven members: five voting members who shall be appointed by the President of the Cook County Board of Commissioners with advice and consent of the Cook County Board of Commissioners, as well as two ex-officio non-voting members. Their primary duty is to aid the public in considering all rezoning appeals pertaining to land uses in the unincorporated areas.
The Zoning Board of Appeals is conscientious of cultural conditions in all communities. The Board’s first concern is the interest of the public when determining zoning requests, whether it be the applicant's views or that of the objectors.
