I was told by a friend that I could put rock salt on a tree stump after
scoring the top and the salt wouldhelp get rid of the stump. Does this
work

Like the others I agree that salt is not effective. If you are allowed to
burn where you are, you can put up a heavy gauge mesh fence around it and
use it as a firepit to get rid of yard waste, or to have a nice bonfire. Do
that a few times and it will disappear rapidly.
