The purpose of the plan is to offer property tax relief to qualified residential, commercial or industrial owners who increase the actual value of their property by at least 15% with new construction or improvements to property within the city limits. 

Prior to starting a project, an application describing the improvement, cost, etc. must be filed with the Ossian City Council for their approval.  The application can be found under the Forms Tab on this web-site.
