Realizing the need for an association for zoning officials, a small group of six persons mailed a letter of inquiry to all jurisdictions known to have zoning regulations following a meeting in Charlotte. Due to an overwhelming response an organizational meeting was held on September 17, 1980. At this meeting a temporary slate of officers were elected.
A subsequent meeting was held the following November during which organizational bylaws were drafted and names for the association were discussed.
On January 16, 1981, at a meeting held at the Institute of Government in Chapel Hill, the "North Carolina Association of Zoning Officials" was founded and its constitution adopted.
