Monroe County Board of Zoning Appeals v. Bedford Recycling, Inc.

Summary

The Indiana Supreme Court held that a board of zoning appeals lacks inherent or common-law authority to reconsider and revoke a final conditional-use permit based on an asserted legal error unless the legislature has expressly granted that power. Because no governing statute authorized the Monroe County Board to reconsider its final permit order, its revocation was beyond its authority, and the court affirmed reinstatement of the permit.
