Residents or interested parties have the right to appeal a decision made by a city authority. Appeals are generally directed at the city officials’ final decisions.
The means of the appeal depends on the nature of the decision and which authority made it. However, not all city decisions are subject to appeal. For example, decisions concerning preparation or implementation are generally not subject for appeal.
In most cases, an appeal is made by submitting a claim for a revised decision to the city. The claim must include the faults in the decision and the grounds on which the appeal is sought. In some cases, an appeal can be made directly to the Administrative Court.
Instructions for an appeal are always attached to the decision. It is important to meet the deadlines stated in the instructions, as late requests for review or appeals cannot be processed.
