Ohio Code § 6117.09

§ 6117.09.

Any owner of property to be assessed or taxed for an improvement under sections 6117.01 to 6117.45 or sections 6103.01 to 6103.30 of the Revised Code , may appeal to the probate court from the action of the board of county commissioners

in determining to proceed with the improvement in regard to any of the following matters: (A) The necessity of the improvement, including the question whether the cost of the

improvement will exceed the benefits resulting therefrom; (B) Boundaries of the assessment district; (C) The tentative apportionment of the assessment. Such appeal shall be effected within ten days after the passage of the resolution

to proceed with the improvement.  No appeal shall be allowed from said decision of the board except as to the tentative

apportionment of the assessment if the owners of land tentatively assessed for at

least eighty-five per cent of the cost of said improvement under sections 6117.01 to 6117.45 , or sections 6103.01 to 6103.30 of the Revised Code , have consented in writing to the action of the board in determining to proceed with

said improvement.  If such an appeal to the probate court has been perfected by any property owner

prior to procuring such consent in writing of the owners of land tentatively assessed

for at least eighty-five per cent of the cost of said improvement, the probate court

before whom such appeal is pending, on the motion of the board or any owner of land

assessed for said improvements, shall dismiss so much of said appeal as refers to

the necessity of the improvement or the boundaries of said district upon the introduction

of satisfactory proof of such written consent of the owners of land tentatively assessed

for at least eighty-five per cent of the cost of the improvement as provided for in

this section.  Such property owner may also appeal from the decision of the board in refusing to

grant the prayer of any petition for improvements under sections 6117.01 to 6117.40 of the Revised Code .  If the director of environmental protection has made an order declaring that any

improvement is necessary for the public health and welfare as provided in section 6117.34 or 6103.17 of the Revised Code , no property owner shall have the right to appeal from the action of the board declaring

such improvement necessary.
