Sec. 9. (a) A person aggrieved by a decision made by the county executive under section 6 of this chapter may, within thirty (30) days, appeal that decision or result to the circuit court for the county containing more than fifty percent (50%) in assessed valuation of the land in the town. The appeal is instituted by giving written notice to the clerk of the circuit court and filing with the county executive a bond for five hundred dollars ($500), with surety approved by the county executive. The bond must provide:
(1) that the appeal will be duly prosecuted; and
(2) that the appellants will pay all costs if the appeal is decided against them.
(b) When an appeal is instituted, the county executive shall file with the clerk of the circuit court a transcript of all proceedings in the case, together with all papers filed in the case. The county executive may not take further action in the case until the appeal is heard and determined.
(c) An appeal under this section shall be heard by the circuit court without a jury. Change of venue from the judge may be granted, but change of venue from the county may not be granted. If the court orders the dissolution to take place, the circuit court clerk shall, immediately after the judgment of the court, certify the judgment of the circuit court to:
(1) the clerk of the municipality;
(2) the circuit court clerk of any other county in which the town is located; and
(3) the office of the secretary of state.
(d) The dissolution takes effect sixty (60) days after the order is certified.
