The Property Tax Code requires the Department to issue a multiplier that, when applied to the assessed value of all property in a county (except for specially assessed property such as farmland), will result in the aggregate assessed value of all property in the County being at 33.33% of fair cash value. This equalization of assessed values is accomplished by comparing recorded sales prices to assessed values for the three prior years.
