(d) The department shall have ninety (90) days from the date of receipt of a completed application for in-kind payment to approve or deny the application. The department may request that the donor amend the application, including the valuation, as a condition of approval. If the department approves the application, the receiving entity shall assume title to the property as soon as practicable. (e) If the department fails to respond to an application for in-kind payment within ninety (90) days of its receipt, the application shall be deemed to be denied. The approval or denial of an application for in-kind payment shall be within the absolute discretion of the department. A denial of an application, either by response or by failure to respond, shall be final, and such a decision shall not be appealable under the Uniform Administrative Procedures Act, compiled in title 4, chapter 5, nor shall such decision be appealable to any court. (f) The department in its discretion may require the donor to pay for a second appraisal by an appraiser selected by the department whenever the qualified property is unusual or outside of the normal expertise of the department to appraise.
