Property-tax appeals in Kentucky
Deadlines, evidence, and a packet you file yourself — for homes, multifamily, and commercial property in Kentucky.
State rules verified from public sources| Deadline rule | First request a conference with the Property Valuation Administrator (PVA) before or during the tax-roll inspection period - 13 days beginning the first Monday in May (KRS 133.045, KRS 133.120). If still aggrieved, file the appeal with the county clerk no later than one workday following the conclusion of the inspection period; the Department of Revenue may extend the deadline by up to 25 days in a county |
|---|---|
| First hearing body | County Board of Assessment Appeals (local board); further appeal to the Kentucky Board of Tax Appeals |
| Who may represent you | The board hears evidence submitted in the presence of the PVA (or deputy) and the taxpayer or his or her authorized representative (KRS 133.120, per the Department of Revenue appeals manual) |
Skipping the PVA conference loses the right to appeal (Kentucky Department of Revenue Property Tax Appeals Manual). An appeal from the local board to the Kentucky Board of Tax Appeals is taken under KRS 49.220, within 30 days of the date the board's decision was mailed. Real property is assessed at its fair cash value as of January 1 (KRS 132.220, via Jefferson County PVA). Individual counties may run an extended conference period with Department of Revenue approval (Jefferson County ran April 24-May 18 for 2026). No filing fee was stated in the sources checked.
What wins in Kentucky
Homes are argued on comparable sales and uniformity. Income property is argued on the income approach — rent roll, expenses, and a supported cap rate. The packet builds the argument that matches your property type, with your evidence organised as exhibits.
