The Illinois Department of Revenue has issued a property assessment equalization factor for Christian County of 1.0.   This equalization factor is often called a multiplier and it helps to achieve uniform property assessments among counties based on a law that was passed in 1975.  Assessments for Christian County are at 33.38% of market value based on property sales from 2017,2018, and 2019.

The equalization factor currently being assigned is for 2020 taxes, payable in 2021.  Last year’s equalization factor was also 1.0. The equalization factor is determined for each county by comparing the price of properties sold to the assessed value placed on those properties by the county supervisor of assessments over the last 3 years.

A change in equalization does not necessarily mean that property tax bills will increase or decrease as those are determined by local taxing bodies. Your tax responsibility will not be changed from this number.
