To formally object to or appeal the amount of an assessment, the property owner must sign a written objection,and file it with the City Clerk prior to the assessment hearing - or present it to the presiding officer at the hearing.
Any objections not received at or before the public hearing in the manner prescribed above are waived, unless the failure to object is due to a “reasonable cause.” (Reasonable cause is not defined in statute and has not received in-depth judicial analysis.)
Within 30 days after the assessment roll is adopted, any property owner who has properly objected to the assessment may appeal to the district court.
The City Clerk is required to provide the person appealing a certified copy of objections filed in the assessment proceedings, the assessment roll or part complained of, and all papers necessary to present the appeal.
