Property Owners Appeal Board Hearing - September 5, 2025

The Property Owners Appeal Board (POAB) convened on September 5, 2025 (the agenda and transcript indicate September 4, but the official record date provided is September 5, 2025) at approximately 6:05 PM. The sole scheduled appeal, concerning a delinquent property cleanup lien at 5300 Wilson Rd, was not heard because the appellant did not appear. The board adjourned without any discussion, testimony, or votes.

Consent Calendar

  • No items were presented.

Public Comments & Testimony

  • No members of the public testified, and the scheduled appellant (owner Bennett Properties c/o Dora Lopez) was not present.

Discussion Items

  • No discussion occurred. The chair noted that the only anticipated appellant was absent, and the board proceeded directly to adjournment.

Key Outcomes

  • The board took no action on the appeal. The delinquent lien of $415.26 for property cleanup at 5300 Wilson Rd remains unpaid. The property owner may still appeal to the City Board of Directors on November 18, 2025, or execute a 12-month payment contract to avoid certification to the Sebastian County Tax Collector with a 10% penalty.
