How do I know if an equalization factor has been applied to my property?

If a factor is applied by a township assessor to a neighborhood, property type, etc., it is considered an individual change and the taxpayer will receive a notice and the change is published in the newspaper.

If an equalization factor for a property class or township is applied by the County Assessor or Board of Review the multipliers/factors by law are published in the heading of the newspaper listing of assessment changes for the township when the assessment year's changes are published.

If equalization factors are issued by the Department of Revenue, they are published in local newspapers.
