§ 8802 Reapportionment Objection Hearings

Key Takeaways

  • •The board listens to complaints about how costs are split for a big piece of land that's been divided into smaller pieces.
  • •The board can change how the costs are split if they think it's unfair.
  • •The board writes down their final decision in their notes.

Example

Imagine a big farm is split into 10 smaller lots. The owner wants to build a road, and the cost is $100,000. The board decides each lot should pay $10,000, but one owner says their lot is too small and can't afford it.

The board listens to the owner's complaint. If they agree, they might change the cost so the small lot pays less, like $5,000, and the others pay a little more. They write this new plan in their notes.

At the time appointed, or such other time to which the hearing may be postponed, or which may be appointed by the board, the board shall hear any objections to the reapportionment and shall approve, modify, or alter the reapportionment in such manner as in their judgment will charge each of the smaller parcels with a just proportion of the assessment made upon the tract subdivided and shall enter an order on its minutes accordingly.
