Apply as an Intervener to an Appealed Administrative Decision to LUHO

If you are not the appellant but would like to become a party to an appeal of an administrative decision to the Land Use Hearing Officer (LUHO), you may apply to be an Intervener

Please note that all applications must be filed within 20 calendar days of when the Notice of Appeal was filed by the appellant
In order to be an intervener, you must have “standing.” The requirements for having standing to appeal an administrative decision are found in LDC Section 10.05.01.
You must submit a fully completed application by the deadline to preserve your intervener rights. If you fail to submit a fully completed application by the deadline, your intervener rights will be lost.
