COMMON LEVEL RATIO FACTOR
This is a property valuation factor provided by the Department of Revenue by which the county assessed value is
multiplied to determine the taxable value of real estate for all non-arm's length transactions, leases and acquired
companies. The factor is base on the common level ratio established by the State Tax Equalization Board. The
common level ration is a ratio of assessed values to current fair market values as reflected by actual sales of real
estate in each county. A statewide list of the factors is available at the Recorder of Deeds' office in each county.
THIS STATEMENT MUST BE SIGNED BY A REASONABLE PERSON CONNECTED WITH THE TRANSACTION.
