Hernando County VAB administration to reschedule two petitions after clerk noted missing evidence
Summary
Value Adjustment Board Administration said it will administratively reschedule petitions 25-263 and 25-264 for hearing before an attorney special magistrate after the clerk's office did not have evidence on file and the petitioner indicated a different representative (Lyon Law) may be responsible.
On Nov. 7, 2025, during the Hernando County Value Adjustment Board special magistrate hearings, the clerk’s office noted it had not received evidence for petitions 25-263 and 25-264. Petitioner Stephanie Garcia said she believed those were ‘‘cap hearings’’ and that Lyon Law had been expected to handle them. The magistrate initially advised the petitioner to request a reschedule with the attorney special magistrate if necessary. Later in the session Heidi Prouse of VAB Administration clarified on the record that the petitioner does not need to request a reschedule and that the Value Adjustment Board Administration would administratively reschedule those two petitions and reassign them to an attorney special magistrate.
Heidi Prouse’s statement on the record: “The petitioner does not need to reach out for a reschedule. It would not be considered a good cause reschedule by the petitioner. Value Adjustment Board Administration will administratively reschedule those 2 petitions for hearing with an attorney special magistrate.”
What this means on process: the petitions remain scheduled for hearing but will be reassigned and re-noticed by VAB Administration rather than requiring the petitioner to file a reschedule request. VAB administration said it will provide notice of the new hearing dates to both the petitioner and the Property Appraiser’s Office. The magistrate and parties then proceeded with the rest of the docket.
Record note: there was no formal board vote recorded in this session to effect the reschedule; the statement was administrative direction by VAB Administration and was recorded on the hearing transcript.
