 The role of the Jefferson County PVA is to fairly assess the value of taxable property, which is important in determining the taxes collected to fund our state, cities, school districts, and emergency services. Sometimes the condition of a home means it falls substantially below or above the median value. That’s why it’s so important residents know about their right to an appeal, and how to go about filing the appeal.
We also look forward to sharing information about the resources offered to community residents by our partners and other community organizations. The PVA’s office often comes in contact with residents in need of assistance with home repairs, paying their tax bills, or navigating the path to investing in real estate in challenged areas of our community. We are glad to be partnering with organizations that do such good work in these areas.

 KYTC began work on the Dixie Highway traffic signals between Greenwood Road and Moorman Road on March 11th. Work started at Moorman Road intersection and will progress North to Greenwood Road. Each intersection will be completed before moving to the next intersection.
The new Dixie Highway traffic signals will operate on an auto detection loop system. Currently, Dixie Highway traffic lights are on a timed system. The new loops being installed will improve traffic flow by detecting vehicles at intersections. These loops will be installed at each intersection south of Greenwood Road.
All sawing and loop instillation will be done at night. Louisville Metro and KYTC staff will be on sight to ensure traffic signals function properly. New traffic signals will be utilized after loop installation. .
Below is a list of projects overseen by the Kentucky Transportation Cabinet happening in Southwest Louisville.
US 31W (Dixie Highway) North: Lane closures and delays possible at Burnett Avenue (mile marker 18.3) due to installation of a micro-trench for conduit and fiber optic cables. Right lane will be closed daily from 8 a.m. until 5 p.m. This process will take several weeks to complete as crews progress north to West Broadway.
US 31W (Dixie Highway): Lane closures and sidewalk closures in place between Blanton Lane and Crums Lane (mile markers 12.5 to 15.3) due to construction for access management and bus rapid transit lines. Roadway is reduced to two lanes northbound between Upper Hunters Trace and Heaton Road. Roadway is reduced to two lanes on southbound Dixie Highway between Blanton Lane and Upper Hunters Trace. Roadway is reduced to one lane southbound and two lanes northbound between Herbert Avenue and Crums Lane. In these areas where the lane closures are in place, the sidewalks are closed on the side where the roadwork is taking place. Pedestrians need to cross Dixie Highway at a signalized intersection and use the sidewalk on the other side of the road instead of walking through the construction work.
