Sec. 17-20. Hearing on tentative equalization factor. The Department
shall, after publishing its tentative equalization factor and giving notice
of hearing to the public in a newspaper of general circulation in the county,
hold a hearing on its estimate not less than 10 days nor more than 30 days from
the date of the publication. The notice shall state the provided hearing platform and accessibility instructions, date, and time of the
hearing, the basis for
the estimate of the Department, and further information as the Department may
prescribe. The Department shall, after giving a hearing to all interested
parties and opportunity for submitting testimony and evidence in support of or
adverse to the estimate as the Department considers requisite, either confirm
or revise the estimate so as to correctly represent the considered judgment of
the Department respecting the estimated percentage to be added to or deducted
from the aggregate assessment of all locally assessed property in the county
except property assessed under Sections 10-110 through 10-140 or 10-170 through
10-200. Within 30 days after the conclusion of the hearing the Department
shall mail to the County Clerk, by certified mail, its determination with
respect to such estimated percentage to be added to or deducted from the
aggregate assessment.
