Syllabus

The trial court did not abuse its discretion in affirming an order to demolish Appellant's property. Consistent with limitations on appellate review, we do not find that the trial court's decision was unsupported by substantial, reliable, and probative evidence. In addition, the trial court did not err in overlooking the testimony of Appellant's witness concerning attempts she made to contact an official about the property. These attempts, if they occurred, were irrelevant, as Appellant failed to comply with options provided in the demolition notice, which, among other things, offered Appellant the ability to file for a permit to abate any nuisances. Moreover, even if the witness's testimony were relevant, the trial court did not err in deferring to the agency's resolution of evidentiary conflicts, as the agency was the trier of fact. Affirmed.
