The terms for the two positions will last through Sept. 28, 2025.

The City of Tuscaloosa points out that supernumerary members are appointed to serve on such board at the call of the chairman, only in the absence of regular members. Supernumerary members serve for three-year terms and are eligible for reappointment.

The Zoning Board of Adjustments hears and decides on requests for special exceptions, while also authorizing any variances from the zoning ordinance. The board also rules appeals where there is believed to be an error in any order, requirement, decision or determination made by the zoning Officer.

Requirements include that the applicant must be a resident of the City of Tuscaloosa and must be available to attend meetings, which are held on the fourth Monday of each month at 5 p.m.

The city says training or experience with zoning ordinances or in a related field is preferred but not necessarily a requirement. Once the application window closes on Dec. 8 at 5 p.m., candidates will be reviewed and recommended by the City Council.
