What is a Variance?
A Variance means the work you have done or wish to
have done does not conform to front, side and rear
setbacks that your town requires. A setback is a pre
determined amount of land from your property line
to your foundation. Your local township governs this
and you must get a variance to build past these limits.
You can always consult with Long Island Expeditors
for your town property set backs. If your house is
a Variance you must go to a board zoning. To hear
your grievance, they will then hand down a decision.
The entire variance process takes about 2-6 months
(depending on your town). |
