                                 CODE OF VIRGINIA

APPEAL FROM DISALLOWANCE OF CLAIM (§ 15.2-1246)

When a claim of any person against a county is disallowed in whole or in part by
the governing body, if such person is present, he may appeal from the decision
of the governing body within 30 days from the date of the decision. If the
claimant is not present, the clerk of the governing body shall serve a written
notice of the disallowance on him or his agent, and he may appeal from the
decision within 30 days after service of such notice. In no case shall the
appeal be taken after the lapse of six months from the date of the decision. The
appeal shall be filed with the circuit court for the county. No appeal shall be
allowed unless the amount disallowed exceeds $10. The disallowance may be
appealed by serving written notice on the clerk of the governing body and
executing a cash or surety bond or irrevocable letter of credit to the county in
the amount of $250, with condition for the faithful prosecution of such appeal,
and the payment of all costs imposed on the appellant by the court.
