Terms Used In Indiana Code 6-1.1-13-8

  • Equitable: Pertaining to civil suits in "equity" rather than in "law." In English legal history, the courts of "law" could order the payment of damages and could afford no other remedy. See damages. A separate court of "equity" could order someone to do something or to cease to do something. See, e.g., injunction. In American jurisprudence, the federal courts have both legal and equitable power, but the distinction is still an important one. For example, a trial by jury is normally available in "law" cases but not in "equity" cases. Source: U.S. Courts
  • Property: includes personal and real property. See Indiana Code 1-1-4-5
   Sec. 8. A county assessor may not reduce the aggregate assessment of all the townships of the county below a just, equitable, and uniform assessment. A county assessor may not increase the aggregate assessment beyond the amount actually necessary for a proper and just equalization of assessments. If the county assessor finds that the aggregate assessment of a township is too high or too low or that it is generally so unequal as to render it impracticable to equalize the aggregate assessment, the county assessor may set aside the assessment of the township and order or conduct a new assessment. To order or conduct a new assessment, the county assessor must give notice and hold a hearing in the same manner as required under section 7 of this chapter.
