| (a) Questions of jurisdiction. In all arbitrations,
the arbitrator shall first determine any questions of jurisdiction.
(b) Arbitrator's determination. If jurisdiction exists,
the arbitrator shall render a determination on whether there was a
violation of the procedural requirements submitted for review. A separate
determination must be made for each individual alleged procedural
violation and each individual property. If a violation is found, the
arbitrator shall direct the ARB or chief appraiser, as applicable,
to either comply with the procedural requirement or, if the ARB determination
has been issued, to rescind the ARB order and hold a new ARB hearing
that complies with the procedural requirements.
(c) Arbitrator's award. Within 20 calendar days of
the conclusion of the arbitration hearing, the arbitrator shall render
and issue an LBA award in the online arbitration system. The arbitrator
shall deliver a copy of the LBA award by first class mail to any property
owner not participating in the online arbitration system.
(d) No appeal of LBA award. An LBA award is final and
may not be appealed.
