Take Representative Charles B. Rangel of New York, who was accused of doing just that on a home he owns in Washington, D.C.

But as the tax authorities look for cheats, they are finding that many people who are eligible for homestead exemptions fail to apply, even though the exemptions can provide valuable breaks on property taxes — the issue in Mr. Rangel’s case — as well as protection from creditors.

The evidence against him is damning. For instance, the hole that Bertie, Ms. Geltosky’s 5-year-old Norwegian elkhound, dug in the garden was 12 inches across and 12 inches deep — the perfect size for a human foot.

“It was a hole I didn’t see,” said Ms. Geltosky, 59, a retired art teacher who lives with her husband in Malvern, Pa., some 20 miles west of Philadelphia. “I was getting compost when I went down. I twisted my knee badly enough to have rehab.”

Consider going green, Homeowners embarking on a kitchen remodel typically must select the style, the quality of craftsmanship and the materials that meet their project goals. With the pressing need to increase energy efficiency and conserve resources, more people are opting these days to “go green” in their choices.

“Incorporating green elements into a kitchen remodel is no longer considered just a passing fad, but a way of life,” said Dick Titus, executive vice president of the Kitchen Cabinet Manufacturers Association (KCMA). “Homeowners feel a responsibility to choose products that are safe for the environment and for their families.”

Glossy aerial acrobats with forked tails, purple martins are a type of swallow, and the only species of bird entirely dependent on humans for housing. Every spring, Mr. Abare said, they show up to nest in the bulbous chandelier-like birdhouses he made several years ago out of plywood and hollowed-out gourds, and mounted on 12-foot poles.

Make the waiting less painful by breaking out your toolbox. A few cheap fixes — painting cabinets, swapping out old knobs and pulls, and replacing your ceiling lights — can make a huge difference.

Consider tackling the following three projects too. They’re just a bit more difficult but bring big benefits to the look and feel of your kitchen — and cost less than $1,000 each.

It’s a quick way to dress up an old kitchen, not to mention protect your walls from stains and even fires. If you’re not eager to mess with mastic and grout, consider Aspect Tile’s new peel-and-stick metal tiles.
