Sec. 14. (a) The department of local government finance may order a correction of any advertising error, mathematical error, or error in data made at the local level for any calendar year if the department finds that the error affects the determination of the limitations established by section 3 or 25 of this chapter, as applicable, or the tax rate or levy of a civil taxing unit. The department of local government finance may on its own initiative correct such an advertising error, mathematical error, or error in data for any civil taxing unit.

     (b) A correction made under subsection (a) for a prior calendar year shall be applied to the civil taxing unit’s levy limitations, rate, and levy for the ensuing calendar year to offset any cumulative effect that the error caused in the determination of the civil taxing unit’s levy limitations, rate, or levy for the ensuing calendar year.
