Wayne County’s Final Multiplier for 2024 Announced, Impacting Property Assessments
Springfield, IL – The Illinois Department of Revenue (IDOR) has officially announced the final 2024 property tax multiplier for Wayne County. This multiplier, set at 1.0000, will be applied to the assessed values of properties within the county.
The property tax multiplier, also known as the equalization factor, is a tool used by the state to ensure that property tax assessments are uniform and equitable across all counties in Illinois. It is calculated annually by the IDOR based on the results of property tax assessment sales ratio studies conducted by the county supervisor of assessments. These studies compare the assessed values of properties to their actual market values.
A multiplier of 1.0000 indicates that, on average, Wayne County’s property assessments are already in line with the state’s mandated assessment level. This means that, for the majority of properties, there will be no adjustment needed to their current assessed values when calculating their property tax bills for the 2024 tax year.
This announcement is a significant step in the annual property tax cycle, providing clarity for both property owners and local taxing bodies. Property owners can use this information to better understand the basis of their future property tax obligations. Local taxing bodies, such as school districts and municipalities, rely on accurate property assessment data to prepare their budgets and set their tax rates.
The IDOR’s commitment to maintaining fair and equitable property assessments across the state is crucial for the effective functioning of local government services. The finalization of the multiplier for Wayne County contributes to this statewide effort.
Further details regarding property tax assessments and calculations can typically be found through the Wayne County Supervisor of Assessments office.
