§ 58907 Property Owner Notice Objections

Key Takeaways

  • •If the clerk forgets to mail a notice to a property owner about a meeting or decision, the meeting or decision is still valid unless the owner complains within 30 days.
  • •To complain, the owner must write a signed and sworn letter to the clerk within 30 days.
  • •If no one complains in 30 days, the clerk can write a statement saying no one objected, and that’s the end of it.
  • •If someone complains on time, the group in charge must hold another meeting or rethink their decision, and they must send the proper notices this time.

Example

The city plans to build a new park and sends notices to most homeowners nearby, but forgets to send one to Mr. Smith. The city holds a meeting and approves the park.

If Mr. Smith doesn’t complain in writing within 30 days, the park approval stays valid. But if he complains on time, the city must hold another meeting and send him a notice this time.

§ 58907 Property Owner Notice Objections

No proceeding shall be held invalid for omission of the clerk of the supervising body to mail the notice required by this chapter to any property owner unless such owner objects to such omission within 30 days after the public hearing or initial action with reference to which such notice was omitted. No objection shall be considered unless it is made in writing, signed, under oath by such owner or his duly authorized representative, and filed with the clerk of the supervising authority. Upon the expiration of said 30 days, the clerk may file an affidavit stating whether or not any property owner entitled to a mailed notice under this chapter who has not been mailed such notice, has filed the objection herein authorized. The affidavit of the clerk shall be conclusive evidence as to the filing or nonfiling of objections within the period of 30 days as above required. If a valid objection is filed within the time allowed, the supervising authority shall conduct another hearing or reconsider its initial action on the proposal, after complying with the notice provisions of this chapter and the principal act under which the proposal was initiated. The time allowed by such principal act for the taking of any proceedings subsequent to the initial action or hearing shall be extended for such additional time as may be required to comply with this chapter. (Added by Stats. 1953, Ch. 846.)
