What it would have done
Summary by the , the Legislature's nonpartisan drafting office. It's their wording, not ours.
Under current law, the Department of Revenue (DOR) annually completes an assessment of the property located in each county or taxation district. That assessment becomes the county's and taxation district's "equalized value" for the year of the assessment. If DOR discovers an error in its equalized value for any county or municipality, DOR, generally, corrects the error by adjusting the equalized value for the year after the year in which the error occurred.
Under this bill, DOR must recertify a taxation district's equalized value in the same year that an error is discovered if all of the following apply:
Read the full summary Show less
1. DOR discovers the error before October 1 of the year for which the error relates.
2. The amount of the error increases or decreases the equalized value by more than $10,000,000.
3. The amount of the error exceeds an amount equal to 7.5 percent of the taxation district's corrected equalized value, excluding any value attributable to value increments in tax incremental districts.
