609 N.E.2d 621 | Ohio Ct. App. | 1992
Plaintiffs-appellants, Nellie Motz and other owners of land located in the village of Richfield, appeal the trial court's decision granting the motion to dismiss of defendants-appellees, village of Richfield and village officials. Appellants assert one assignment of error. We affirm.
Appellants assert that the village's adoption of an ordinance levying special assessments for sewer improvements is a final appealable order pursuant to R.C. Chapter 2506. We do not agree. R.C.
"Every final order, adjudication, or decision of any officer, tribunal, authority, board, bureau, commission, department, or other division of any political subdivision of the state may be reviewed by the court of common pleas of the county in which the principal office of the political subdivision is located as provided in Chapter 2505. of the Revised Code, except as modified by this chapter.
"The appeal provided in this chapter is in addition to any other remedy of appeal provided by law.
"A `final order, adjudication, or decision' means an order, adjudication or decision that determines rights, duties, privileges, benefits, or legal relationships of a person, but does not include any order, adjudication, or decision from which an appeal is granted by rule, ordinance, or statute to a higher administrative authority if a right to a hearing on such appeal is provided, or any order, adjudication, or decision that is issued preliminary to or as a result of a criminal proceeding."
R.C.
On the other hand, the Supreme Court of Ohio has addressed the claim which appellants attempt to raise in the case at bar, that the assessment levied against the property, which is equal to or greater than the value of the property after the improvement is made, constitutes a taking of property without compensation in violation of Section
Given the language of R.C.
The assignment of error is not well taken. The judgment of the trial court is affirmed.
Judgment affirmed.
