Definition of double assessment

Definition: Double assessment is the act of requiring that tax be paid twice for the same property.

For example, if a person owns a property and pays property tax on it, but then the government comes and charges them again for the same property, that is double assessment. This is also known as double taxation.

Double assessment is unfair and illegal because it forces people to pay more than they should. It can happen by mistake or intentionally, but either way, it is wrong.

Law school is a lot like juggling. With chainsaws. While on a unicycle.

Simple Definition

Double assessment is when someone is required to pay taxes twice for the same property. This is not fair and is called double taxation. There are other types of assessments, like when the government determines how much tax someone should pay based on the value of their property or the benefits they receive from public improvements. These assessments are important for funding things like roads, sidewalks, and sewage lines. However, double assessment is not allowed and is considered unfair.

Success in law school is 10% intelligence and 90% persistence.
