A. A notice of violation may be appealed by providing the Clerk of the Board of Supervisors with a request in writing for a hearing to appeal the determination of the Enforcing Officer.
B. The appeal must be filed within five (5) calendar days after the date the notice was deemed served pursuant to § 12-04.18(A)(3).
C. The appeal shall set forth the detailed factual and/or legal basis, as applicable, for the appeal, with payment of any applicable appeal fee. An appeal hearing shall not be granted without payment of an appeal fee.
D. The County may deny an appeal hearing and summarily dismiss any appeal for failure to file an appeal in the time and manner required under this chapter, failure to provide detailed factual and/or legal basis for the appeal, or for the failure to attend the appeal hearing, and the notice will become final and conclusive upon the summary dismissal.
E. Absent timely appeal, the notice shall be deemed final and conclusive and the Enforcing Officer may take the disciplinary action set forth in the notice and/or enter upon the property and abate the nuisance by county personnel, or by private contractor under the direction of the Enforcing Officer. The Enforcing Officer may, but need not, apply to a court of competent jurisdiction for a warrant authorizing entry upon the property for purposes of undertaking the work, if necessary in the sole discretion of the Enforcing Officer.
