Zoning Process Step Two: Hearing Scheduled
Hearing dates are scheduled in the order in which the appeals are received. You may call the Board of Appeal office two weeks after you file to determine your anticipated hearing date. Dates are tentative and subject to change, pending the formal notification process.
Legal notice of the hearing and the time and place is published in the Boston Herald or The Boston Globe at least 20 days prior to the hearing date. Notice is mailed to you, as well as other persons deemed by the Board to be affected, including immediate abutters, local elected officials and community groups, as well as any party who has requested notification. By law, a hearing cannot take place until after the required notice. To facilitate this process, Mayor Menino has established a schedule of extra hearings.
