Hernando County value board denies relief for two property tax petitioners after no-shows

The Chair of the Hernando County Value Adjustment Board denied relief for two property-tax petitions at the board’s 10 a.m. hearing after the petitioners failed to appear.

The first matter, announced as petition number 25-263 (key number 00806266), identified the petitioner as SFR 20252 Borrower LLC represented by Ryan LLC, care of Robert Hole. The Chair said the petitioner "did not appear at the hearing and did not state good cause," and therefore "the relief is denied." The Chair added, "This decision is being issued in order that any right the petitioner may have to bring an action in the circuit court is not impaired." The Chair also noted the Hernando County Property Appraiser’s Office was present in chambers.

The board then considered a second petition, spoken on the record as petition number "20Five-two64" (key number 1577911), listed as Fyr SFR TRS LLC and likewise represented by Ryan LLC, care of Robert Hole. The Chair again found the petitioner absent, stated that the petitioner "did not appear at the hearing and did not state good cause," and announced that "the relief is therefore denied," reiterating that the decision preserves any circuit-court rights. The Property Appraiser’s Office was present for the second matter as well.

Both rulings were announced from the bench; the Chair characterized them as final dispositions by the board for the day and returned the hearing to the clerk. The session concluded with the Chair thanking attendees and offering a seasonal greeting.

The board did not record a recorded vote, motion-maker, or seconder on the public record, and no additional evidence or testimony was introduced in either petition during the hearing. The written decisions noted on the record preserve the petitioners’ right to pursue circuit-court review.
