FAQ

What is zoning?

The Zoning Ordinance of the Town of Greece regulates the use of land, and the location and size of structures within the Town. When a permit request indicates that an intended activity or structure will result in a violation of any provision of the Zoning Ordinance, the Building Inspector will deny the permit request. The applicant is then referred to the Zoning Office, where an appeal of the denial (variance) may be requested.

This request for a variance is heard by the Board of Zoning Appeals at a public hearing. This Board has the authority to provide the relief requested, as well as grant special permits for certain regulated activities, such as home occupations. Residents with zoning related questions should contact the Town Hall at (585)225-2000.
