About each permit
Zoning Variance, Special Exception, Appeal and Rezoning
Aberdeen prices its three Board of Adjustment routes identically at $200.00, which means the choice between them turns entirely on which is legally available rather than on cost. A variance relaxes a dimensional standard; a special exception authorises a use the district contemplates subject to findings — this is the route a home day care takes under §14-135; an appeal challenges an administrative determination. Filing under the wrong heading wastes the fee and the hearing date, so the question is worth settling with Planning and Zoning before applying. Rezoning at $250.00 is a legislative act by the City Council rather than a Board decision, takes longer, and is the last resort where the district simply does not contemplate the use.
