Under a mandatory duty given to this department by statute it must equalize all assessments made locally, to the end that average assessments among counties bear the same relationship to true value. The belief of many that the department's equalization authority includes the right to review individual or local assessments made by any local assessment officer is not true. The department's equalizing process works in this way. The percentage for each county between the valuation at which locally assessed property is listed by assessors and reviewed by the Board of Review, and the full, fair cash value is determined through analysis of property transfers, property appraisals and such other means as the department deems proper. The determination of this relationship, called the "multiplier process," was last done in 1958, and then in 1961 the Illinois General Assembly froze such multipliers until the next quadrennial assessment year - which in McHenry county is 1963. Once a county gets a tentative multiplier, and it is greater or less than 1, the Board of Review can go to work W that county and by necessary and just equalization within he county, make it possible for the department to later certify a final multiplier of 1. When the equalization work is completed, the Department of Revenue certifies to each county clerk the jxneentage as finally determined by it, to be added or deducted from the assessed valuation of property as returned by the county clerk. This percentage adjustment is made to every individual piece of locally assessed property in the county by the county clerk.
