What if I disagree with the Department’s decision to deny my exemption?

After you receive a denial you may appeal the City’s determination to the Albany Zoning Board of Appeals. You will also have an opportunity to amend your application with additional documentation, correct your application, or correct our decision if you feel the City misinterpreted something in your application denying your application. In order to help with your appeal and prevent error, exemption application denials will include an explanation for the denial.
