§ 7783. Appeals
Any person aggrieved because of any action or decision of the commissioner under the provisions of this chapter may appeal therefrom to the superior court of the county in which such person resides. The appellant shall give security, approved by the commissioner, conditioned to pay the tax levied, if it remains unpaid, with interest and costs. Such appeals shall be preferred cases for hearing on the docket of such court. Such court may grant such relief as may be equitable and may order the state treasurer to pay to the aggrieved taxpayer the amount of such relief, with interest at the rate of six percent per annum. If the appeal shall have been taken without probable cause, the court may tax double or triple costs as the case shall demand. Upon all such appeals which may be denied, costs may be taxed against the appellant at the discretion of the court, but no costs shall be taxed against the state. (Amended 1973, No. 193 (Adj. Sess.), § 3, eff. April 9, 1974; 1997, No. 161 (Adj. Sess.), § 22, eff. Jan. 1, 1998.)
