The PVA office does not set tax rates. The following information is provided for reference. Tax rates for previous years are available at https://revenue.ky.gov/News/Publications/Pages/Property-Tax-Rate-Books.aspx
To determine your tax amount use the following formula.
Assessment divided by 100 times the tax rate = Tax Amount
Example: $25,000 / 100 x 1.2989 = $324.73
The 1.2989 is the total tax for your district of all the following applicable taxes.
