Appeals to the City Council#
The decisions of certain boards, commissions, and other decision makers can be appealed to the City Council. The Appeal Guidelines explain the process for filing an appeal.
The Appeal Form must be delivered to the City Clerk, 300 LaPorte Avenue, with original signature(s), along with a check or money order for the appeal fee ($100 payable to the City of Fort Collins).
The law requires special procedures for quasi-judicial matters, including appeals. Please review the Quasi-Judicial Council Procedures for more information.
