CITIZEN HANDOUT
PROCESS FOR FILING APPEALS
GROUNDS FOR PROTEST AGAINST POTENTIAL ASSESSMENTS
Within 20 days of City notification to all participants of their inclusion on the assessment
roll, any participating property owner may submit an appeal in writing to the Renton City
Council, c/o City Clerk. An appeal must include a statement of claimed errors concerning
the proposed assessment and must be accompanied by a $577.00 nonrefundable fee.
Errors identified in an appeal must be related to cost, methodology for cost distribution,
and benefit to the property, as outlined below.
1. Cost
All costs submitted in the form of actual billing statements by the developer have been
reviewed by City Staff and have been determined that they are within a typical cost range
for the project. If the benefiting property owner contests these costs, they must provide a
basis for their claimed discrepancy. (Comparables from a similar job)
2. Costs Methodology
Staff considers the typical methodologies for cost distribution and makes every effort to
choose the methodology that is most equitable to all benefiting property owners. If the
benefiting property owner contests the cost methodology used, they have to show why it is
not equitable and provide their suggested alternate method of assessment and the
justification for its use in place of the staff recommended method.
3. Benefit
Staff considers potential benefit to all parcels within a proposed latecomer (private or City-
held) boundary. It is feasible that there is/are some reason(s), unknown to City staff, that a
specific parcel may not have the potential to benefit from the improvements. If a benefiting
property owner contest benefit they must provide a statement or documentation on why a
particular parcel has absolutely no future potential benefit.
Errors which are not set forth in writing and which do not adhere to the above criteria, will
not be considered.
Objections by a benefiting property owner to the recording of a potential assessment
against their property does not constitute a valid appeal.
