A friend told me yesterday that the house she rented was owned by a Norwood man who won't finish the exterior of the house to avoid his taxes from going up. Can we remove that from being a hindrance from improving our community's properties? Either a penalty equal to the amount the assessment might increase if not remedied after a period of time (no more than 12 months, to cover construction seasons); or, what may effectively be equal to a PILOT for homeowners (not paying the increase in taxes for making improvements) for a period of several years?
