Consolidated Statutes is amended to read:
§ 8817. Changes in assessed valuation.
(a) General rule.--In addition to other authorization
provided in this chapter, the assessors may change the assessed
valuation on real property when a parcel of land is subdivided
into smaller parcels or when [improvements are made to real
property or] existing improvements are removed from real
property or are destroyed. The recording of a subdivision plan
shall not constitute grounds for assessment increases until lots
are sold or improvements are installed. The painting of a
building or the normal regular repairs to a building aggregating
$2,500 or less in value annually shall not be deemed cause for a
change in valuation.
