Now you need to police whether people are living in specific houses. This is simple and much harder to get wrong.

- 8ytecoder 4y agoI understand it's going to hard but not impossible. Assessors can work together at the state level and identify owners with multiple properties and send them the extra tax bill or a way to dispute it. They have enough information about what we own and where we live.
- danielheath 4y agoTax policies that require more than perfunctory policing are generally a bad idea IMO; tax evasion becomes a realistic option (everything from farming out properties to their extended family to "reside in" to avoid paying the higher rate to befriending assessors to have them misidentify you as a resident). Policing is definitely possible, but I don't think the added cost and operational complexity make it advisable.
