§ 100615 Board Decisions Final And Conclusive

This law says that once a board makes a decision after a hearing, that decision is final, and if you didn’t raise any objections during the hearing, you lose the chance to object later.

Key Takeaways

  • •Board decisions after a hearing are final and cannot be changed later.
  • •Any objection, appeal, or protest must be made during the hearing itself.
  • •If you wait until after the hearing, the law assumes you agree with the board’s action.

Example

A homeowner asks the city board for a permit to build a fence. The board holds a hearing, decides to deny the permit, and the homeowner does not speak up or file an appeal at that hearing.

Because the homeowner didn’t object at the hearing, the law treats that as a voluntary waiver, so the homeowner can’t later protest the denial or ask the board to change its mind.

§ 100615 Board Decisions Final And Conclusive

All decisions and determinations of the board, upon notice and hearing, are final and conclusive upon all persons entitled to appeal to the board as to all errors, informalities, and irregularities which the board might have avoided or remedied during the progress of the proceedings or which it can, at that time, remedy. Any objection, appeal, or protest not made at the time of any hearing is deemed to be waived voluntarily by any person who might have made the appeal, protest, or objection, and the person is deemed to have consented to the action taken following the hearing and any other matter on which objection, protest, or appeal could have been made. (Added by Stats. 2003, Ch. 727, Sec. 1. Effective January 1, 2004.)
