How it works
In Kentucky, real property is assessed at its fair cash value. This calculator applies the uniform statewide real property tax rate to the assessed value to estimate annual property tax. Local county, city, school district, and special district rates are not included.
Examples
If a property has an assessed value equal to its fair cash value, the estimated tax is calculated by applying the statewide real property tax rate to that value. Actual taxes depend on additional local rates.
Limitations and important notes
This calculator includes only the Kentucky state real property tax rate. Local property tax rates, exemptions, special districts, and voter-approved levies are not included and can materially affect the final tax amount.
