[WSBAPT] Double tax for one lot

[Paul Grant]

I had a similar situation a couple years ago and if I recall correctly the
assessor is only liable for 3 years of back taxes and that is if they were
at fault - my client elected not to do more than what the assessor gave
back after informing them of the mistake since the amount ended up being
rather small.
