Iowa Code Title X. Financial Resources [Chs. 421-454] § 426C.6. Appeals

1. If the board of supervisors disallows a claim for credit under section 426C.3, subsection 4, the board of supervisors shall send written notice, by mail, to the claimant at the claimant's last known address. The notice shall state the reasons for disallowing the claim for the credit. The board of supervisors is not required to send notice that a claim for credit is disallowed if the claimant voluntarily withdraws the claim. Any person whose claim is disallowed under the provisions of this chapter may appeal from the action of the board of supervisors to the district court of the county in which the parcel or property unit is located by giving written notice of such appeal to the county auditor within twenty days from the date of mailing of notice of such action by the board of supervisors.

2. If a claim for credit is disallowed by the board of supervisors, and such action is subsequently reversed on appeal, the credit shall be allowed on the applicable parcel or property unit, and the director of revenue, the county auditor, and the county treasurer shall provide the credit and change their books and records accordingly. In the event the claimant has paid one or both of the installments of the tax payable in the year or years in question, remittance shall be made to the claimant of the amount of such credit. The amount of such credit awarded on appeal shall be allocated and paid from the balance remaining in the fund.
