If you get an abatement notice, you must follow it. You have to do what the notice says within the time it specifies. You also have to pay the costs of following the notice, unless it says otherwise. If you do not agree with the notice, you can appeal, as stated in section 269. This means you can ask for the decision to be reviewed. You should check section 269 for more information on how to appeal. You need to remember that this is part of a proposed new law, which may change how things are done now.
