Ohio § 5502.43

§ 5502.43.

Before issuing any civil defense certificate, the certifying authority shall give

notice in writing by registered mail to the tax commissioner, and, in case the application

relates to a structure, written notice to the county auditor of the county in which

such structure is or is to be located, and shall afford to the applicant and the tax

commissioner and the county auditor to whom such notice has been given an opportunity

for a hearing.  On like notice to the applicant and opportunity for hearing the certifying authority,

on its own initiative or on complaint by the tax commissioner or the county auditor

of the county in which any property to which a civil defense certificate relates is

located, shall revoke such civil defense certificate whenever any of the following

appears: (A) That the certificate was obtained by fraud or misrepresentation; (B) That the holder of the certificate has failed substantially to proceed with the construction,

reconstruction, installation, or acquisition of the civil defense facility contemplated

by the certificate; (C) That the structure, or the equipment, or both, to which the certificate relates is

being used for the ordinary and usual purposes of the holder, and is no more than

sufficient for such ordinary and usual purposes;  provided, that where the circumstances

so require, the certifying authority in lieu of revoking such certificate may modify

the same by restricting its operation. Upon the mailing of notice of the action of the certifying authority revoking or modifying

a civil defense certificate, as provided in section 5502.44 of the Revised Code , such certificate shall cease to be in force, or shall remain in force only as modified,

as the case may require.
