STATE OF ILLINOIS
DEPARTMENT OF REVENUE
PROPERTY TAX DIVISION
THE FOLLOWING IS CERTIFICATION TO THE COUNTY CLERK OF EFFINGHAM COUNTY OF THE TENTATIVE EQUALIZATION FACTOR AND OF THE ESTIMATED PERCENTAGE TO BE APPLIED TO THE AGGREGATE ASSESSMENT AS REQUIRED BY THE PROPERTY TAX CODE:
Section 17-15 of the Property Tax Code (35 ILCS 200/17-15) provides that the Department annually certify to the County Clerk its estimate of the percentage to be applied to the aggregate assessment of locally assessed property in each county, other than property assessed in accordance with Sections 10-110 through 10-140 and 10-170 through 10-200 of the Property Tax Code (35 ILCS 200/10-110 through 10-140 and 10-170 through 10-200). This value is determined in accordance with Section 17-15 of the Property Tax Code (35 ILCS 200/17-15). The percentage to be applied to the aggregate assessment of locally assessed property in the county for the year 2024 is 0.00%.
The estimate is based upon a comparison of the assessed valuation of property for the year 2024 as certified by the Chief County Assessment Officer and an estimated 33 1/3% of the fair cash value established through the analysis of property transfers. The result is a tentative equalization factor of 1.0000. This factor is tentative and subject to review, and therefore cannot be used to extend taxes.
Provisions for review of the Department’s estimate are set out in Section 17-20 of the Property Tax Code (35 ILCS 200/17-20).
