§ 5103 Commissioner Action Appeals

Key Takeaways

  • •If you're upset about a decision made by a commissioner, you can ask the director to look at it again.
  • •You have to ask in writing within 5 days of finding out about the decision, unless there's a different time limit given.
  • •You can't ask for a review if the commissioner made a quick decision they're allowed to make.

Example

You applied for a permit to build a fence, but the commissioner said no. You think this is unfair.

You can write to the director within 5 days to ask them to check if the commissioner was right to say no. But if the commissioner made a quick decision they're allowed to make, like stopping a dangerous activity right away, you can't ask for a review.
