(b) Application to Appeal. The applicant desiring to appeal a decision shall request in writing to the Sanitarian a written denial and must file the appeal within thirty (30) days of the date of action taken in accordance with Section 68.10 of the Wisconsin Statutes.

The Board of Sanitary Review shall provide the appellant with a hearing within fifteen (15) days of the Board’s receipt of the appeal and shall notify the appellant by mail at least ten (10) days prior to the hearing.
