Equalization, Property Description & Mapping

The Equalization Department ensures that the real and personal property has been uniformly assessed across townships and cities within the county. The County equalizes separately personal property, and agricultural, developmental, residential, commercial, industrial, and timber cutover real property. This is done by adding to or deducting from the valuation of personal property and each class of real property in each township and city an amount that will produce a sum, which represents 50% of true cash value.
