Oswego Council shelves changes to tax‑compliance permit rule
Oswego officials say no changes this year to the local law forcing property owners to stay current on taxes to receive permits but several aldermen fear future amendments could allow emergency permits for tax‑delinquent owners. The tougher rule, passed in February, has caused a shift in back tax payments as owners settle to obtain or renew rentals and work permits, and to keep sewer bills up to date. An October debate considered an emergency work‑permit exception for buildings needing safety repairs owned by tax‑delinquent individuals, with outgoing councilors Fran Enwright and Mike Todd opposing any amendment.
