§ 11C-3 — Time for filing appraisals - Contest - Administrative review

Within 30 days after their appointment the appraisers shall file their appraisal or appraisals with the regional superintendent. Within 10 days thereafter the regional superintendent shall send copies of such appraisals by registered mail to the secretary or clerk of the board of each district which is a party to the accounting. If the board of any district desires to contest any appraisal it shall file a statement of its objections with the regional superintendent within 20 days after the receipt of a copy of such appraisal. The regional superintendent shall then fix a date for a hearing on such objections and give notice thereof to each district which is a party to the accounting. Each such district may offer evidence at the hearing and the appraisal shall be considered by the regional superintendent as evidence of the value of the property appraised. The regional superintendent shall then consider the evidence and enter an order determining the value of the property in question. Such order shall be deemed an "administrative decision" as defined in the "Administrative Review Law" and any board which is a party to the accounting may apply for a review of such decision in accordance with the "Administrative Review Law" and all amendments and modifications thereof and the rules adopted pursuant thereto.
