Colt's Neck Homeowners Assn. v. Franklin Cty. Bd. of Commrs.

2025-0693

Appeals—R.C. 6133.10(A) provides that any appeal from an order of a joint board of county commissioners that does not involve claims for damages or compensation must be heard by a panel of judges consisting of one judge of the court of common pleas from each of the counties affected by a proposed joint-county ditch improvement—Under R.C. 6131.25(A) and 6133.03(D), any affected landowner may appeal any order issued by a joint board of county commissioners to a court of common pleas, including an order directing a county engineer to proceed with preparing reports, plans, and schedules needed for a proposed joint-county ditch improvement—A landowner whose procedural rights have allegedly been violated at the first hearing on a proposed joint-county ditch improvement is an affected landowner with standing to appeal the order resulting from that hearing—Jurisdictional-priority rule—An affected landowner may file an appeal from an order of a joint board of county commissioners in any of the counties in which the proposed joint-county ditch improvement will occur—Homeowners association was an affected landowner with standing and statutory authority to appeal joint board of county commissioners’ order issued after the first hearing on proposed joint-county ditch improvement, and association’s appeal should have been heard by a joint panel of common-pleas-court judges from each of the counties affected by the ditch improvement—Judgment of court of appeals, which held that trial court had erred under R.C. 6133.10(A) in failing to convene a panel of common-pleas-court judges to hear homeowners association’s appeal from joint board of county commissioners’ order and that association had standing and statutory authority to appeal joint board’s order, affirmed.
