Who can present a verified petition to a court of record regarding the decisions of the board of adjustments?

The option identifying that a person aggrieved by a decision can present a verified petition to a court of record regarding the decisions of the board of adjustments is accurate. This provision ensures that individuals who have been negatively affected by a decision made by the board of adjustments have a means to seek relief through the judicial system.

The term "aggrieved" indicates that the person has a direct interest in the outcome of the board's decision, typically because the decision adversely impacts their property rights or interests. This access to the court is crucial for upholding due process rights and allows for a check on the authority of local boards, thereby promoting accountability and fairness within the code enforcement process.

Other options, such as limiting this right solely to taxpayers, police officers, or department heads, do not encompass the broad scope intended by the law. Therefore, it is important that all individuals directly impacted have the ability to contest board decisions and not restrict this right to a select group.
