Not later than forty-five (45) days after receipt of this form, the designating body may determine whether or not the property owner has substantially complied
with the Statement of Benefits (Form SB-1/VBD).
If the property owner is found NOT to be in substantial compliance, the designating body shall send the property owner written notice. The notice must include
the reasons for the determination and the date, time, and place of a hearing to be conducted by the designating body. The date of this hearing may not be
more than thirty (30) days after the date this notice is mailed. A copy of the notice may be sent to the county auditor and the county assessor.
Based on the information presented at the hearing, the designating body shall determine whether or not the property owner has made reasonable efforts to
substantially comply with the Statement of Benefits (Form SB-1/VBD) and whether any failure to substantially comply was caused by factors beyond the control
of the property owner.
If the designating body determines that the property owner has NOT made reasonable efforts to comply, then the designating body shall adopt a resolution
terminating the property owner’s deduction. If the designating body adopts such a resolution, the deduction does not apply to the next installment of property
taxes owed by the property owner or to any subsequent installment of property taxes. The designating body shall immediately mail a certified copy of the
resolution to: (1) the property owner; (2) the county auditor; and (3) the county assessor.
