The Board of Adjustment is a quasi-judicial board that hears and decides requests for variances from the City’s zoning ordinance in Title 17 of the Municipal Code. It also hears and decides floodplain development permits, decides whether a specific use is permitted per the Municipal Code use groups, and hears appeals of administrative zoning and floodplain decisions.

The Board of Adjustment was originally created as part of the 1962 Municipal Code and shared similar duties to the modern Board of Adjustment. Today, the Board is regulated by Chapter 17.48 of the Louisville Municipal Code. 

The Board of Adjustment consists of six members and one alternate, each appointed by the City Council. None of the members may be current members of the Planning Commission. Appointments to the board are for a period of three years.

Regular meetings are held at 6:30 PM on the 3^rd Wednesday of each month, as needed. Agendas for each meeting are posted online, in the foyer of City Hall, at the Library, at the Police Department/Municipal Court Building, and at the Recreation Center.

Members of the public are welcome to attend meetings and give comments remotely using the links below; however, the in-person meeting may continue even if technology issues prevent remote participation.
