Section 40-2-16 Equalization of valuation generally. It shall be the duty of the Department
of Revenue to examine such of the tax records of the several counties as will enable it to
ascertain whether the tax valuation of the various classes of property as made in the respective
counties of the state, is reasonably uniform as between the respective counties and is in

property in other counties, fixed on the same basis for assessment, and that such classes
of property in every county shall bear their proportion of the tax...
