(2) A county, other than the county whose predetermined ratio has been selected in accordance with paragraph (1), shall certify to the taxing district a copy of the assessment roll which shows the actual valuations of properties within the county's portion of the taxing district, so that taxes to be levied on the property may be calculated using the assessed valuation determined by applying the selected predetermined ratio to actual valuation of the property.
