The Dalton Board of Appeals (also known as the ZBA) applies the zoning ordinances of the Town of Dalton as promulgated by the Planning Board to all petitions that come before the Board. The Board is required to apply State law as found in chapter 40 and 40A to all petitions. The Board of Appeals holds public hearings for the issuance of special permits and variances per the zoning By-laws as well as administrative appeal hearings.

The Board of Appeals consists of 3 members plus at least one alternate, all appointed by the Select Board for staggered 3-year terms.  Current members are maintained by the Town Clerk’s office and available at https://www.mytowngovernment.org/01226.

The Board normally meets at 7:30PM on the 1st Tuesday of each month.

On Thursday, June 29, at 7 p.m., the Board will hear an administrative appeal of a decision by the Zoning Enforcement Officer noting work done in the buffer zone established at 190 Hubbard Avenue. See the appeal here.
