Hernando County special magistrate recommends denial of relief for 17 Ryan LLC tax petitions
Summary
At a Jan. 23 hearing, the special magistrate reported Ryan LLC did not appear for petitions 192–208; the property appraiser confirmed assessed and taxable values and the magistrate said recommended decisions denying relief will be issued.
A special magistrate in Hernando County said on Jan. 23 that petitioners from Ryan LLC did not appear for hearings on petitions 192 through 208, and the magistrate indicated recommended decisions denying relief will be issued for each petition.
The magistrate opened the session by announcing the docket and the absent petitioner, saying Ryan LLC "did not appear for the hearing scheduled for 9 AM" for each listed petition. The property appraiser’s office confirmed the assessed and taxable values for the parcels, which the magistrate said would be reflected in the recommended decisions. For petition 208 the magistrate noted a possible data-entry error in the paperwork and asked staff to confirm the taxable value; staff confirmed the taxable value matched the assessed value shown.
Why it matters: These recommended decisions resolve a set of valuation-appeal hearings at the magistrate level. The magistrate repeatedly stated that issuance of the recommended denials "will be issued" and that "any legal rights petitioner may have for potential actions in the circuit court are not impaired," preserving the petitioner’s option to pursue further review.
The magistrate read each petition into the record and recited the parcel key numbers and the values confirmed by the property appraiser. Examples from the record include: petition 192 (key 01529484), just/assessed/taxable value 411,852; petition 193 (key 01530686), 306,270; petition 194 (key 01530686), 271,759; petition 195 (key 01530800), 280,711; petition 198 (key 01535592), 371,239; petition 199 (key 01567600), 294,928; petition 200 (key 00944571), 236,056; petition 201 (key 01286441), 330,206; petition 202 (key 01569939), just value 411,486 and assessed/taxable 392,700; petition 203 (key 01570151), 379,675; petition 206 (key 01571793), 306,746; petition 207 (key 01571230), 308,083; and petition 208 (key 01193069), 472,415. Some values in the transcript appear with inconsistent formatting or possible typographical errors; the magistrate paused on petition 208 to verify the taxable figure, and the property appraiser confirmed the record.
The hearing record shows no petitioner testimony or documentary evidence offered by Ryan LLC at the scheduled 9 a.m. docket. In each instance the magistrate stated the petitioner "did not state good cause and did not request the petition be heard and evidence considered in their absence," and the magistrate concluded the remarks for each petition by noting the recommended decision to deny relief would be issued and that petitioner rights to further action were not impaired.
