What it would have done

Summary by the , the Legislature's nonpartisan drafting office. It's their wording, not ours.

Under current law, annually, the Department of Revenue (DOR) determines the full value of the property of each county and taxation district. This property valuation is known as "equalized value." DOR determines the equalized value of all property in the state to ensure, generally, that the property is being assessed at its full value. If DOR makes an error in determining the equalized value of the property of any county or taxation district, DOR corrects the error by adjusting the county's or taxation district's equalized value in the year after the year in which DOR made the error.

In 2011, DOR undervalued a tax increment district in the village of Warrens by $4,708,700. This bill requires that, no later than November 30, 2011, DOR correct the 2011 equalized value determined for the village of Warrens.
