Mantua Township Board of Zoning Appeals

Mantua Township Board of Zoning Appeals (BZA) is responsible for handling zoning-related disputes, variance requests, and conditional use applications. The board operates under Ohio Revised Code Section 519.14, which grants it authority to:

  • Hear and decide appeals regarding zoning enforcement decisions.
  • Authorize variances when strict zoning enforcement would cause unnecessary hardship.
  • Grant conditional zoning certificates for specific land uses.
  • Revoke variances or conditional zoning certificates if conditions are violated.

Additionally, Ohio Revised Code Section 519.15 outlines procedural requirements, including public hearings, record-keeping, and notice requirements for appeals.
