4-17-15: APPEAL PROCEDURE:
A taxpayer aggrieved by a decision of the Tax Administrator with respect to the amount of tax, interest, penalties, and fees, if any, due under this chapter may appeal only if a hearing was requested and attended pursuant to Section 4-17-25. An appeal may be made by filing a notice of appeal with the City Clerk within thirty (30) calendar days of the serving or mailing of the Tax Administrator's decision of the amount due. Upon receipt of a timely notice of appeal, the City Clerk, or his or her designee, shall fix a time and place for hearing such appeal with a hearing officer or other appointed body by the City Council. The City Clerk, or his or her designee, shall give at least ten (10) calendar days' notice of the appeal hearing in writing to such taxpayer at the last known place of address. The hearing officer shall render a written decision that shall be served on the taxpayer at the last known place of address. The decision of the hearing officer shall be final and conclusive. Any amount found to be due by the hearing officer shall be immediately due and payable upon the service of the decision. If no notice of appeal is filed within the time prescribed in this Section, the Tax Administrator's decision with respect to the amount of tax, interest, penalties, and fees due is final and conclusive.
