WHEN DISALLOWANCE OF CLAIM FINAL; EXCEPTION; WHEN NO EXECUTION TO BE ISSUED (§
15.2-1247)

The determination of the governing body of any county disallowing a claim, in
whole or in part, shall be a bar to any action in any court founded on such
claim, unless (i) the decision of the governing body disallowing the claim is
appealed; (ii) the governing body consents to the institution of an action by
the claimant against the county; or (iii) the governing body fails to act upon
any claim within 90 days of the date the claim is received by the governing body
or its clerk, provided that such time may be extended by mutual agreement of the
claimant and the county. No execution shall be issued upon any judgment
recovered against a county, board of supervisors, or against any officer of the
county, when the judgment should be paid by the county. Any judgment against the
county shall be provided for by the governing body in the next county levy and
paid by the treasurer as other county charges.
