§ 4463. Objections to appeal

When a taxpayer, town agent, or selectboard claims that an appeal to the director is in any manner defective or was not lawfully taken, on or before ten days after mailing of the notice of appeal by the clerk under Rule 74(b) of the Vermont Rules of Civil Procedure, the taxpayer, town agent, or selectboard shall file objections in writing with the director, and furnish the appellant or appellant's attorney with a copy of the objections. When the taxpayer, town agent or selectboard so requests, the director shall thereupon fix a time and place for hearing the objections, and shall notify all parties thereof, by mail or otherwise. Upon hearing or otherwise, the director shall pass upon the objections and make such order in relation thereto as is required by law. The order shall be recorded or attached in the town clerk's office in the book wherein the appeal is recorded. (Added 1969, No. 253 (Adj. Sess.), § 1; amended 1971, No. 185 (Adj. Sess.), § 219, eff.
