(a) After the appraisers file their report, any of the defendants may, within a reasonable time fixed by the court, file exceptions to the report, alleging that the appraisement of the property, as made by the appraisers, is not the true cash value of the property. If exceptions are filed, a trial on the exceptions shall be held by the court or before a jury, if asked by either party.

(b) The circuit court clerk shall give notice of filing of the appraisers' report to all known parties to the action and their attorneys of record by certified mail.
