§ 5.09.080 — APPEALS

5.09.080: APPEALS:

A. Except as set forth below, civil penalties and assessed fees imposed pursuant to this chapter shall be subject to the procedures set forth in Chapter 2.75. An owner may appeal the assessment of fees to the enforcement official. An appeal fee (see the Salt Lake City consolidated fee schedule) must accompany the appeal. Appeal fees will be returned to the owner if the appeal is upheld. The filing of an appeal with the enforcement official stays the assessment of the fee until the enforcement official makes a final decision. The owner shall file a written appeal to the enforcement official by setting forth the reasons for the appeal within fifteen (15) days after notice is mailed. B. An owner to whom a notice to disconnect or deactivate a fire alarm system was mailed, pursuant to subsection 5.09.070A of this chapter, shall be entitled to appeal the order to the enforcement official. An appeal fee (see the Salt Lake City consolidated fee schedule) must accompany the appeal. Appeal fees will be returned to the owner if the appeal is upheld. An appeal must be made in writing stating the reason why the order to disconnect or deactivate should be withdrawn. The appeal shall be made within fifteen (15) days after notice to disconnect is mailed to the owner. The enforcement official or his or her designee shall review the facts and circumstances and shall determine whether the owner has shown good cause why the order should be withdrawn. If the enforcement official affirms the order to disconnect or deactivate a fire alarm system, the owner shall have fifteen (15) days after the written decision is served upon the owner to comply with the order. The appeal of an order to disconnect or deactivate shall suspend the effective date of the order until the appeal has been acted upon by the enforcement official. (Ord. 50-25, 2025: Ord. 46-11, 2011)
