What is the Board of Zoning Adjustment? When and where does the Board meet?
The Prattville Board of Zoning Adjustment is established under §11-52-80 of the Code of Alabama, 1975, as amended. The Board’s five members are appointed to staggered 3-year terms by the Prattville City Council. The Board’s seats two alternates that may serve in place of a regular member.
