§8A-8-12. Stays; exception.
When an appeal has been filed with the board of zoning appeals, all proceedings and work on the premises in question shall be stayed, unless the official or board from where the appeal was taken certifies in writing to the board of zoning appeals, that a stay would cause imminent peril to life or property. If the written certification is filed, proceedings or work on the premises shall not be stayed. Nothing in this section prevents obtaining a restraining order.
