Lower Your Kentucky Property Tax

Statewide Residential Benchmark

A broad statewide benchmark for Kentucky is an effective property tax rate of about 0.72% of home value. On a $400,000 residential property, that equals about $2,880 per year. This is a statewide comparison point, not a guarantee of what any parcel will owe.

Basic statewide deadlines

Kentucky appeal windows move fast

Kentucky property valuation appeals commonly begin during the county inspection period, followed by local board deadlines.

Start by checking your Notice of Valuation and gathering your county property record.

Then confirm the current year’s instructions with your county assessor, local board, municipality, or state tax authority, especially if a deadline falls on a weekend or legal holiday.
