Relatedly, it'd be interesting to see a tax with a built-in ratcheting up effect each year. Imagine if you had a tax that doubled each year a property remained vacant -- that'd be similar to how they're using these fines.

Sounds like how the repeater tax works in the NBA; each year you are over the salary cap,you have to pay a penalty per dollar over, and you pay a higher percentage each time you are over. Once you get under the cap, it resets.
The money gets split amongst the non-tax paying teams, with the idea of balancing competition between wealthier teams and poorer teams.
