§ 8-17-1-19 — Objections to improvements; filing of statement

Any taxpayer may file an objection to the
work by filing a sworn statement with the auditor that the road has not
been completed according to the plans, plats, profiles, specifications,
and contract, stating which item has not been completed. After the
objection is filed, then the county executive shall set a hearing on the
issue where it may hear other proof, may cause witnesses to be
subpoenaed, and hear sworn evidence in the same manner as other
issues are heard before the executive. The executive shall determine
whether the work has been done according to the plans, plats, profiles,
specifications, and contract. Any party aggrieved by the decision may
appeal to the circuit court, superior court, or probate court of the county
within ten (10) days of the date of the decision, by filing a bond
approved by the auditor of the county, for the payment of all costs in
the cause that may be adjudged in the circuit court, superior court, or
probate court against the person taking the appeal. The proceedings
shall be tried de novo in the circuit court, superior court, or probate
court.
